A fast-paced darkly comic drama from internationally acclaimed Moliere award-winner, David Lescot. Exploring a lifetime through one person's daily interactions with money, three actors portray forty characters, examining the transactions we engage in to build a life. 'You can't keep accumulating all the time, you see... You can't always be gaining, earning, winning; you need to lose as well. We need loss.' Written and directed by Lescot - associate artist of renowned Théâtre de la Ville in Paris - who makes his Edinburgh Fringe debut. 'Mesmerising, nearly perfect' (StageBuddy.com). 'A swift, humorous and sometimes bittersweet tale' (ManhattanDigest.com).

Amy Rye, Lost in Theatreland, 28th July 2023Edinburgh Interview: David Lescot on Dough at Pleasance Dome
"It's not only about money; it's about life, it's about relationships. It's about what we exchange in life, what goes between people."
Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly, 16th July 2023Theatre At The Fringe - interview - Dough
"It presents the whole life of somebody, from his birth to his death - but only the money stories."
Holly, Phoenix Remix, 15th July 2023Dough: David Lescot's play weighs a man's life in his bank balance
We follow our loser hero from tooth fairy credits to funeral debts in a comedy of financial errors exploring money as a transactional link through all relationships.
Kim Willsher, The Guardian, 14th June 2023Edinburgh preview: Dough
Money isn't just money: it is the thing that decides our relationships, our choices and our experiences. Dough is an unsettlingly hilarious and bittersweet tale about money and the lack thereof.
