Undone - a play by Chad McGitchie

AXM, Bloom St, Manchester

Monday 23 August @ 19:30

Undone is a sharp-witted look at one young man trying to navigate his way through relationships, lovers and friends via the underbelly of Manchester’s gay scene. Through the mist of neon lights, dilated pupils and hangovers Dex attempts to discover true intimacy, peeling back the layers of expectation and coming face to face with his fears head on. Is it possible to survive unscathed?

Get a fresh perspective of the Village life in a way you never have before; or at least can remember in this fast paced comedy drama.

A play written and directed by Chad McGitchie, assistant Director Dominic Berry
