About Up A Close

Following our SELL OUT tour of Glasgow. Up A Close is the story of Joanna and her life growing up in a tenement in Glasgow. When her husband goes missing she starts to relive scenes from her youth and we see the fun times she had. Dancing to the Bay City Rollers, Goin’ up the dancin’ with her pal and her wonderful relationship with her Auntie Sandra. Shang-a-lang to the music with young Joanna. The play is very nostalgic, poignant and funny. Lots of laughter and tears. Must see event of the Year.
