It has been called hilarious yet heartbreaking. The play explores themes of celebrity obsession, sexuality and throws back to the nostalgia of growing up in the early noughties.
The production is a collaborative effort by the award-winning performer Shereen Roushbaiani (BBC’s Doctors, Pride and Prejudice The Panto, Mummylogues) and writer/director David Shopland (A Dream Of Dying, Into Thin Air, The Little Mermaid).
The running time is 70 minutes, contains strong language, uses flashing lights and the age guidance is 12+. The play is coming to Huddersfield this month on the 11 and 12 of February at the Lawrence Batley Theatre.
