Unhappy Birthday: Unity Theatre, Liverpool UK Nov 8 & 9, 8pm. Tickets £12/£10
Amy Lamé's critically acclaimed Morrissey-inspired solo show Unhappy Birthday rolls into Liverpool for 2 nights only
Amy invites you to her birthday party. Morrissey’s invited too; will he arrive clutching a bunch of flowers? Will he turn up at all? Cake and quiffs, balloons and beer, party poppers and pass the parcel collide against a soundtrack of teenage obsession in this immersive, interactive show/party.
Unhappy Birthday cracks open celebrity; flays fat, fandom and faith, and probes the pains of growing up. It will appeal to anyone who has ever been a pop music fan, experienced teenage angst, or been crushed by unrequited love.
Co-founder and hostess of the infamous Olivier award winning London club/collective Duckie, Amy creates a culture clash of party, performance and poncing about. Unhappy Birthday is ‘Waiting for Godot’ for the pop generation.
By/Starring: Amy Lamé
Directed by: Scottee
