Up A Close
Following a 2024 Spring and Autumn sell out run across Scotland, Kingsman Travelling Theatre Company is absolutely delighted to be bringing Up A Close, Joanna's Story to Paisley Town Hall!
About Up A Close
Up A Close is the story of Joanna, looking back on her life in her Partick tenement flat.
When her husband doesn’t come home one night, she reminisces on her marriage, her children, the wonderful times she had growing up in the mid-70s with her mum, dad and her auntie Sandra, her best friend Anne Marie, the nuns and dancing up the toon to the Bay City Rollers.
The audience will laugh and cry and identify themselves in this brilliantly written and acted play of tough love and hope and laughter, full of nostalgia, poignancy and fun and Pure Glasgow banter.
