Unhappy Birthday
Friday 29 June : 8pm
£12.00 : £10.00 concessions : seated
Plus The Smiths & Morrissey disco in the cafe bar.
Amy Lamé invites you share her birthday. Morrissey- icon for the bookish, bespectacled weirdos of the world- is invited too. A seat is reserved for him… will he arrive clutching a bunch of flowers and a gift? Will he turn up at all?
Cake, quiffs and craziness collide in a flurry of balloons and beer, against a soundtrack of nostalgic teenage obsession.

Unhappy Birthday cracks open the cult of celebrity and fandom; flays fat, faith and sexual identity; probes the pains of growing up; and cross examines a curious nostalgia for a time that may never have existed except in the bedroom of our imagination.
