Manic Street Creature

Maimuna Memon’s 2022 Edinburgh Fringe hit is a four-hander centring on Ria, a driven musician working hard on an album about the collapse of a recent relationship, who slowly starts to find herself becoming divorced from reality. It returns to London for its biggest run to date as Memon’s career as actor, playwright and composer really gets into gear, supercharged by her best supporting actress in a musical win for the Donmar’s Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. Memon herself stars as Ria in Kirsty Patrick Ward’s production.
