Swan Song
Background
The setting is Liverpool in 1997 amidst an ever-changing world. And we meet English teacher Dave Titswell, a gay man in his forties. But he finds that not all of this change is particularly welcome. Now, he has a crush, but life, love, and even work are not straightforward for him. However, could a school trip to The Lakes change things for the better? Or, conversely, might the excursion make things even worse? This show is both hilarious and emotional, making this quite the experience. After all, everybody knows someone like Dave, or they might even be a Dave themselves. Furthermore, Andrew Lancel is kindly contributing to help the Unity Theatre through the pandemic by virtue of this production.
