There's this unspoken thing right? I dunno . . . I guess, this resistance to admitting that someone else's trauma can be traumatising . . .
Ria is a singer-songwriter. She's talented. She's ambitious. And she's driven- quite literally- all the way from Lancashire to London, to start afresh in Camden Town.
Charting the rise and fall of a rollercoaster relationship, Ria is recording her debut album with her band. But the more the tracks progress, the more music and memory collide. . .
This soaring piece of gig theatre from Olivier Award winner Maimuna Memon brings a raw and powerful insight into first love, co-dependence and mental health care - but most of all, how music has the
power to help us start again.
This revised and updated edition was published to coincide with the critically acclaimed, multi award-winning return of Manic Street Creature at Kiln Theatre in March 2026.
