The Moira Trilogy (3/3)
In this third and final installment of what is now The Moira Trilogy, Falkirk’s hardest woman, Moira Bell, faces her toughest challenge yet: surviving a pandemic with only vodka, fags and her BFF Babs on Zoom. Take that, Bear Grylls!
Journey through the highs and lows of lockdown with myself, writer-performer Alan Bissett, returning as Moira, as she lusts after Joe Wickes, rages at Cummings and grows her own weed (might as well, seeing as the f**kin world’s ending, eh Babs?). She’s "the most charismatic character to appear on a Scottish stage in a decade" (The Scotsman) but this time she canny even leave the hoose!

The Moira Trilogy
The Moira Trilogy is made up of three plays which have independently had a successful runs and garnered positive responses and connections with audiences. The Moira Monologues have been performed across the country in the Traverse Theatre, the Citizens Theatre, Manchester’s Royal Exchange, Oran Mor, The Lemon Tree and Eden Court as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
But for the first time, Bissett is performing the shows as a trilogy all in one evening. Together they not only form a hilarious, rip-roaring three-hour 'one woman show' but also provide a social history of the Scottish working-class from 2009-2022; all to the backdrop of the finanicial crash, the independence referendum, Brexit, Trump, and Covid-19 as experienced by Falkirk's Hardest Woman.
Each play is one hour long and will feature an interval afterwards. Each play can be booked separately.
The Moira Monologues (1/3) 6:30pm performance
More Moira Monologues (2/3) 7:45pm performance
