The odds of perishing in a commercial plane accident are 29.4 million to one. Reassuring. Except if you're the one.

As emergency masks plummet, engines squeal and hand baggage flies from the overhead bins, two strangers hold hands. Scared and breathless, their lives flash past as they face their final moments together.

Exploring themes of luck, choice, fate, coincidence and connection, this thrilling production, created by award-winning, critically acclaimed theatre company Visible Fictions, is a fantasy table-top exploration using object theatre and gripping storytelling.

"We're so thrilled to present 'Up' at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival and to share this huge story told with tiny things. Object Theatre is such a dynamic and imaginative artistic discipline. When our production toured Scotland last year, the story and form provoked such wonderful responses from audiences and critics, that we knew we just had to share it with an even wider audience at the world's largest and best theatre festival in Edinburgh."

- Dougie Irvine (Artistic Director of Visible Fictions).
