Details

by Cesca Echlin

And though you sometimes wish these people weren't so huge, or that they weren't even there in the first place, they keep you company somehow. And that's why you put them there. They make you feel you are not alone.

A university tutor who wages academic warfare. A dating app match who teases and slips through fingers. A school crush who looks at you like no one else has before.

Is obsession even about the person you're obsessed with? When desire meets fantasy, we transform someone into something - something that we need them to be, and in turn something that allows us to be someone else.

A monologue in three parts, Cesca Echlin's Looking for Giants sees our narrator enter the minds of the men she can't stop thinking about, inhabiting the objects of her obsession. When the boundaries between self and other start to blur, who's in control of the narrative? Met with critical acclaim during its debut at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2023, Looking for Giants is a one-woman show about gender, sex and the stories we tell ourselves.

This edition was published to coincide with the run at London's King's Head Theatre in January 2025.
