"The terrific thing about this show is that it works on many levels and always underpins the comedy with real emotion.  Brilliant, slippery. Deliciously sharp and witty." - The Guardian

 "The excellent Inspector Sands. A wickedly funny and reassuringly well-honed piece in which situation comedy veers from everyday banality to surreal imaginings" - The Herald

"Distinctly classy" - The Scotsman

"An acutely observed, often surreal and sometimes painfully funny comedy about the dysfunctional links between modern neuroses and the all-too-human need for love" -The Times

SYNOPSIS-If That's All There Is
A successful but desperately average couple are teetering on the brink of marriage. As the days count down towards the big one, panic rises. Unexpectedly, both find themselves becoming entangled with other people:  a jaded therapist who may or may not be suffering a mid-life crisis and an awkward teenager struggling to find an identity.

As their nice, normal lives begin to unravel, the question of what it would take to make them truly happy leads into increasingly strange and hilarious territory, where love and hate are dangerously, even life-threateningly, intertwined.

For anyone who's ever wanted to stand on a windswept plain, howling for lost love.

Inspired by the Peggy Lee song, 'Is That All There Is?', this is the second show from Inspector Sands ("a young company with a big talent", The Times), recent winners of the Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize 2009.  Their award-winning hit debut Hysteria has toured extensively around the UK and internationally.
