Description

Its 1997. Youre 11. Youre sad, lonely and scared of doing anything that would get you singled out by the hopeless, angry people in your hometown. One day you see a man on telly. Hes mumbling, yet electrifying. He sings: 'I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does'. You become obsessed with him. You write to him. A lot. Letters to Morrissey is the third in a trilogy of often darkly comic works drawing on the joys and struggles of growing up in working class Scotland. Fringe First Award Winner 2017.

Reviews

Funny and touching' Evening Standard 'A fine piece of pop criticism; an examination of Morrissey as a role model - working class anti-hero, pub corner poet, a different sort of male role model.' WhatsOnStage
