Goth Weekend: Live Theatre

“You can’t be a Goth, Dad. Your name is Kenneth.”

Anna wants her recently bereaved dad Ken to get out more. To meet people. To start dating again. Then Belinda comes along. She’s a newly single singer in Belle Epoque, a Geordie Goth band, with her disgruntled teenage son Simon (a.k.a. “Bram”) on keyboards. She’s a disaster. For Anna.

Ken has had his head turned and his wardrobe will never be the same again. Worse for Anna, Belinda and Bram, arriving in a customised purple hearse, move in to rehearse for a gig at Goth Weekend in Whitby. In this hilarious and poignant comedy with music, Anna has to wrestle with her own dilemmas, decide whether to sabotage plans for the band, and Ken and Belinda’s Goth happiness…

Goth Weekend features Jessica Johnson, most recently seen in Key Change, and Live Theatre debuts by actors Sean McKenzie, Amy Trigg and Gurjeet Singh.
