About the show
Gilded Balloon and Red Line Productions present Faye's Red Lines, a solo theatre piece written by Ian Pattison, known for BBC's Rab C Nesbitt, and performed by Gail Watson. Meet Faye — she has a good salary, her own home and a paralysing fear of intimacy. She occasionally hauls her laptop to her local bar to run the daily gauntlet of rejection. One day, she buys a diary. During one of her usual one-night stands, an unexpected revelation triggers her buried past and forces Faye to take stock of her solitary life. Suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharply written solo piece about a woman confronting herself — funny, melancholy and ultimately very human. Gail Watson's performance and Ian Pattison's writing make this a compelling sixty minutes.
