A FINE LINE — Lotte Beckett

A FINE LINE @ Melbourne Fringe Festival 2023

Harry Styles is Lola's boyfriend. He's also her husband, collaborator, farm hand and soulmate. From tour outfits to romantic getaways, Lola has planned every part of their relationship. And Harry gives her all of his love, gives her something to dream about.

Exploring limerence, obsession and manifestation culture, A FINE LINE is a new dramedy by Hensby & Beckett. Bring your posters, feather boas and most elaborate romantic fantasies.

“A Shakespearean tragedy about the social phenomenon of fan culture… part Harry Styles concert, and part fangirl tragedy, this show will rock your socks off.” - RMITV
