The Moira Trilogy
Alan Bissett will bring all three Moira Monologues, giving audiences the chance to experience Moira's hilarious journey in a single sitting, to the Scottish Storytelling Centre on 1st June!
About The Moira Trilogy
Cleaner and single-mum Moira lets rip about her neighbour’s dug, blasting oot Diana Ross at the Scotia karaoke night, watching Scotland get gubbed (again), dealing with cheeky c**ts on the train, cleaning posh folks’ hooses, and, of course, surviving lockdown with only vodka, fags and her long-suffering BFF Babs for company.
Alan Bissett performs the complete, hilarious story of Falkirk’s Hardest Woman Moira Bell in ‘three modern classics of Scottish theatre’ (The National). Bringing together The Moira Monologues (2009), 2017’s Fringe First winner More Moira Monologues and the 2022 finale Moira in Lockdown, this nae-messin' heroine finally has her say IN FULL.
“A near-perfect series of monologues, howlingly funny and unnervingly sharp and poetic. The most charismatic character to appear on a Scottish stage in a decade.” ★★★★★ (Scotsman)
“Such a riot my ears popped a couple of times from the row behind me shouting with laughter.” ★★★★★ (The National)
“Welcome back, Moira. We missed you.” ★★★★★ (Broadway Baby)
“Heart-stoppingly funny, and heart-warming. Storytelling perfection.” ★★★★★ (The QR)
“Great hilarity, simple truths and some profound moments too: it’s no wonder Moira has such a loyal following.” ★★★★ (The List)
