The Lonely Walk Home is Ian Townsend’s BBC award-winning play about loneliness, sexuality, and one night stands which don’t always go to plan.
Directed by Dan Phillips and featuring CJ de Mooi, best known from BBC’s Eggheads, the play won a special prize at BBC’s Alfred Bradley Bursary Award for new radio writers.
Now adapted as a two-hander for the stage, and to be performed at Taurus Bar & Kitchen on Canal Street in Manchester from February 1-12, it promises an atmospheric and disturbing experience, when loner Lawrence picks up younger, handsome Joe.
Ian sayid, “although originally written as a short story and then as a radio play, I always wanted to develop The Lonely Walk Home into a theatre piece and Taurus lends itself perfectly.
“We have also been fortunate to be awarded Arts Council funding for the project, which ensures production values are high and everyone gets paid!”
