About this ebook

I've got the world at the tip of my fingers, I've got the world at the tip of my tongue, I've got the world in my mouth.

After a series of racist murders in their European town, Anna and Eireni decide to infiltrate a far-right festival to identify the culprits. But when the nature of their relationship is uncovered, their safety is threatened. Salty Irina is a coming-of-age story set against the rise of the far-right, about two girls falling in love and fighting Nazis. Shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize in 2019, Eve Leigh's play is an urgent, poetic, kick-ass thriller for queer women.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere of the Broccoli Arts production in association with Thistle and Rose Arts, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2023.
