Nearing 40, painfully shy, and emerging from a toxic break-up, Leah forms a punk band inspired by Lynn from Alan Partridge.
As she takes to the stage with no musical ability, will this gig push Leah further over the edge, or help her regain her confidence and find the hope she needs to move on? A funny, farcical and poignant new play, exploring the impact of abusive behaviour, the power of friendship and how silliness can be healing.
Lynn Faces is a new play by multi award-winning writer Laura Horton, following her Fringe First-winning show, Breathless.

"Laura Horton’s poignant comic monologue delivers a sympathetic portrayal of a sample-sale hoarder."
