Manic Street Creature

"There's this unspoken thing right? I guess this resistance to admitting that someone else's trauma can be traumatising."

Ria is working with her band to complete a new album – songs charting the rise and fall of a recent relationship.

But the more Ria progresses, the more she’s drawn back to the darkness of her troubled past, until we’re not sure where memory ends and reality begins.

Love, lust, and late nights collide in a musical roller coaster, taking the audience through the euphoria and distress of two people dealing with their own and each other’s mental health.

Manic Street Creature is a fresh and thrilling take on a modern love story from Olivier nominee (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) Maimuna Memon.

REVIEWS

"... an unflinching look at manic depression that makes us look at the situation and not shy away from it. This may sound a little overwhelming, but, trust me, writer and composer Malmuna Memon has written a score that picks you up and rides you on the roller coaster of love and heartbreak ... the riffs and melodies take us to an emotionally powerful resolution" ~ British Theatre.com
