Well, my latest play (More) Moira Monologues went just about as well as could be expected at the Edinburgh Fringe 2017. Big, loud audiences, a prestigious Fringe First award, and check out some of these goddamn reviews:

“Near-perfect.” – 5***** The Scotsman “A riot.” 5***** The National “Welcome back, Moira. We missed you.” – 5***** Broadway Baby “No wonder Moira has such a loyal following.” – 4**** The List

Expect a double-bill of Moira 1 & 2 touring in Spring 2018, folks…
