Edinburgh Fringe play coming to Whitchurch
A one-man play inspired by football, the 1978 World Cup and the Falklands War is coming to Whitchurch following a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe
A play exploring football, identity and belonging is coming to Whitchurch following its run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Don't Cry For Me Kenny Dalglish, written, directed and performed by Andrew Macmillen, will be staged at The Talbot Theatre, Whitchurch Leisure Centre, at Sir John Talbot's School, on Friday, November 27, at 7.30pm.
Inspired by memories of the 1978 World Cup and seven years spent living in Argentina, the one-man show follows Danny McLure from his football-obsessed childhood into adulthood.
The story reflects on Scotland's ill-fated 1978 World Cup campaign and Danny's later service in the Falklands War, blending sport, politics and romance with humour and emotion.
The production explores themes including friendship, human rights, equality and love.
One review described it as "a very moving and deep story about football, friendship, human rights and equality, David Bowie and love", adding: "A must-see performance with real genuine storytelling and human touch."
Tickets cost £12, with £6 tickets for under-18s, and are available from artsalive.co.uk or by calling 07506 724572.
The show is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
