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
