Going Out Out, a brand-new show presented by HOME and Karl Sydow this autumn.
This play follows the touching story of widower Ian as he embarks on a remarkable journey, finding a way to cope with his grief by joining the Manchester drag scene.
Written by Barney Norris and directed and developed by Jess Edwards, Going Out Out is a show filled with music, connection, courage and love.
Ian’s gone out less since he became a widower. Actually, he hasn’t gone out at all – a local charity gets his shopping and he only leaves the house to water the garden. But when Raz drops Ian’s groceries round one day and finds him wearing his late wife’s dress, because it helps him feel closer to her and because he likes to wear something loose fitting on hot days, an unlikely friendship starts that changes everything. Soon, Ian finds himself back in the working men’s club run by his estranged daughter, Lauren, preparing to give the performance of his life…
