Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon Play
Royal Exchange Manchester
AS Manchester’s biennial International Arts Festival gets into full swing there are a multitude of wonderful, outrageous, unfathomable and quite frankly downright absurd events across the city.
If there is only one thing you can attend, then head to the Royal Exchange where you will be served up a delicious new play from Kimber Lee. Her Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon Play won the inaugural Bruntwood International Prize in 2019. Now having its world premiere, it shouldn’t be missed.
It’s a wonderful, funny, thoughtful and very angry play.
