Manic Street Creature

<p><i>There's this unspoken thing right? I guess this resistance to admitting that someone else's trauma can be traumatising.</i> <p/>Ria is working with her band to complete a new album - songs charting the rise and fall of a recent relationship. But the more Ria progresses the more she's drawn back to the darkness of her troubled past until we're not sure where memory ends and reality begins. <p/><i>Manic Street Creature </i>is a fresh and thrilling take on a modern love story from Olivier nominee Maimuna Memon (<i>Standing at the Sky's Edge</i>). Love lust and late nights collide in a musical rollercoaster taking the audience through the euphoria and distress of two people dealing with their own and each other's mental health. <p/>From its multi-award winning run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022 including <i>The Scotsman</i> Fringe First the Mental Health Fringe Award and <i>The Stage</i> Edinburgh Award this edition of <i>Manic Street Creature</i> is published to coincide with its Southwark Playhouse Borough run in October 2023.</p>
