Glue, by Annie Moir

Contact: anniemoir@hotmail.co.uk

Annie Moir returns to the stage with Glue, her 2nd one-woman show. In it she considers and explores how our lives are held together (or not) by a variety of different glues.

Her subject matter ranges from advice to our children’s children’s generation, our own immaculate conception - because sex between our parents never happened – did it? - and of course the necessary homage to Shakespeare, this time a re-writing of the McScottish play using references from a certain well known fast food outlet!

The show is a series of poems held together by a narrative and supported by musical extracts and a variety of unlikely props . Designed to be easily accessible, thought provoking and fun. The audience will be glued to their seats.

Annie Moir is a poet, writer and teacher. She has been a regular performer on the spoken word scene for over ten years and was a founder member of the Poetry Vandals.

She is supported by -
