‘tackles a challenging subject with delicate humour’
Theatre Weekly
Nearing 40, painfully shy and trying to make sense of a painful break-up, Leah forms a punk bank inspired by Lynn from Alan Partridge. As they take to the stage for their first gig with no musical ability, Leah is forced to face the reality of a life that looks nothing like she thought it would.
Winner of the Birds of Paradise Exceptional Theatre Award, this funny, farcical and poignant play looks at toxic power dynamics, the power of friendship, and how silliness can be healing. Lynn Faces is a new play by multi-award-winning writer Laura Horton, following her Fringe First winning show, Breathless.
Co-commissioned by Norwich Theatre, New Diorama Theatre and Theatre Royal Plymouth

Reviews
★★★★
‘an endearing and original idea that has serious issues at its heart.’
All Edinburgh Theatre★★★★
‘The production was an endearing portrayal of women friendship, the long lasting effects of domestic violence, becoming punk, and the bravery needed to step out and into oneself.’
The Student★★★★
‘The writing is sharp, the staging always demanding your attention.’
Broadway Baby‘Laura Horton’s terrific gig-play is a scrappy antidote to the fringe’s earnest shows about serious subjects.’
The Guardian★★★★
‘Lynn Faces is not a piece of gig-theatre, it is a tremendously triumphant play about rebuilding a life in tatters.’
The British Theatre Guide★★★★
