THE DARLING MONOLOGUES
Meet Lily, Sadie and Ruby, acutely observed characters brought to life by their creator, award-winning writer Angela Jackson.
Fresh from the pages of her novels, these women and their relationships are fully revealed in three frank and darkly funny, monologues. Sex, secrets, birth, death, infidelity and Russian Red lipstick – no subject is out of bounds.
“Compelling, with a northern nod to unsentimental compassion and wry wit.”
“Hilarious and heartbreaking. Jackson can make you look at life slightly differently, and only the very best can do that.”
The Darling Monologues ran from 3rd to 11th August 2017 at Waterstones, Princes Street.
