The Moira Monologues

Alan Bissett’s “The Moira Monologues’ is a one-woman play; a tour-de-force of the world of Falkirk’s hardest woman, Moira Bell. Outrageously funny, Bissett’s monologue has seen a sell-out tour and critical acclaim across Scotland. A play that is heartwarming, poignant and with a character that is instantly endearing. Critical Praise for The Moira Monologues:“A rising star…A roaring theatrical success… one the most charismatic characters to emerge in Scottish theatre this decade…This is brilliant stuff, an exhilaratingly fresh take on the whole business of class and culture in Scotland. It’s also so funny that some in the audience were literally shouting with laughter.”**** Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman“One of the leading lights of a vibrant, young Scottish literary scene. He’s also, it turns out, a pretty fine performer.” **** Alice Jones, The Independent“By playing it fearlessly straight, Bissett makes for the most believable of neighbourhood gossips.” **** Neil Cooper, The Herald“An often side-splittingly funny show that gleefully tramples over all clichés about class.” Scotland on Sunday
