Tracy Star is a Bowie fan hoping to escape the mediocrity of 1980s Manchester by emulating her hero in The Rise & Fall of a Northern Star.
Her tragicomic tale of hope and disappointment, of characters met and betrayed, offers an alternative view of the Madchester scene which is more often told from a male perspective. This one woman show, at the Kings Arms in Salford from September 6-13, offers a blend of comedy and tragedy interspersed with original music.
It’s the first major work by author Stella Grundy, former front woman of Manchester band Intastella, since her successful multimedia event Nico Icon Play which was nominated for two city Theatre Awards after its sell out run at The Kings Arms and The Lowry.
This will be the première performance of new songs forming the upcoming solo album.
