WE ARE IAN

IN BED WITH MY BROTHER & Pleasance • Professional company

60 minutes•Beyond
Smash-hit WE ARE IAN is back. 10 years since it premiered at Pleasance. Manchester, 1989. The year everything changed from black and white into technicolour. A frenzy of drugs, beats and bucket hats. Illegal raves. Acid parties. Jumping up and down in a field and throwing two fingers to Thatcher... Do you remember? We don't. We weren't even born. But Ian was. And Ian does remember. We've got f**k all now, so we’re going back to 1989. We're gonna neck a brown biscuit. We're gonna bounce around like idiots. And Ian's going to show us how.
