Alan Bissett: Moira in Lockdown
Advertisement
PLEASE NOTE REVISED DATE, 12 DECEMBER. STILL TANNERS AT 7.30PM
In this third and final instalment of what is now The Moira Trilogy, Falkirk’s hardest woman, Moira Bell, faces her toughest challenge yet: surviving a pandemic with only vodka, fags and her BFF, Babs, on Zoom. Take that, Bear Grylls!
Journey through the highs and lows of lockdown with writer-performer Alan Bissett, returning for the last time as Moira, as she lusts after Joe Wicks, rages at the government, and grows her own W**d (might as well, seeing as the f**kin world’s ending, eh Babs?). How will she cope!
“Moira’s back-to-the-wall willingness to take on all-comers is the constant powerhouse of Alan Bissett’s humour.” – 5***** – Broadway Baby
“Heart-stoppingly funny, and heart-warming, Alan Bissett has created nothing less than an hour of storytelling perfection.” 5***** – The QR
“An absolute classic of Scottish working-class comedy.” 4**** – Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
“Bissett’s skill as a writer-performer with Moira has always been to take a potentially one-note character and add new dimensions to her, without ever intruding upon his vicious one-liners. For his 2022 show, he excels at making Moira’s lived experience universal while keeping her edge.” – 4**** The List
“Keenly felt, dryly observed and hysterically funny.” – 4**** – British Theatre Guide
We are very sorry to have to advise that we have to move the date for Alan Bissett’s appearance from Thursday 28 November to Thursday 12 December. Alan sends his apologies but hopes that everyone can make the new date. It will still be at Tanners and a 7.30pm start.
We hope everyone can make the new date and apologise for the inconvenience. Please use the ticket(s) you already have as they will be valid for the revised date.
If you cannot join us on the new date could we please ask you to cancel your ticket(s) or, if you have difficulty in doing so, email [email protected] and we will do it for you.
Again our apologies for this change but we hope to see you there. If in the meantime you need an extra PBF fix, we have a few tickets left for Derek Forbes next Tuesday and Billy Kay on 4 November. All details here https://pentlandsbookfestival.org/
