Letters to Morissey

by Gary McNair
Traverse Theatre Company in association with Tron Theatre

It’s 1997. You’re 11. You’re sad, lonely and scared of doing anything that would single you out by hopeless, angry people in your hometown.

One day you see a man on telly. He’s mumbling, yet electrifying. He sings: ‘I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does’. You become obsessed with him. You write to him. A lot.

It’s 2017. You find those letters and ask yourself: ‘Has the world changed, or have I changed?’.

Gary McNair returns to the Traverse after his award-winning sell-out show A Gambler’s Guide to Dying.

Performed at Traverse Theatre as part of Made in Scotland 2017.
