WHAT'S ON NOW
Tuesday 16 June - Saturday 4 JulyPocket Punks Present NevermindBy Martin Sadofski It is better to burn out than fade away. This is a blackly funny play about loss, love and happy meals. John, a music journalist for the NME is coming to terms with his own failings. He has failed as a writer, as a lover and as a son. Following the death of his father he returns home to face his domineering mother. Struggling to finish a biography of Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain he is visited by Kurt himself. Kurt begins to torment him about his failure of a life. Does Kurt want John to kill himself? Can his girlfriend, Helen, a young sparky hairdresser from North London save him from despair?Or will his mother drive him over the edge. This is a play about a terrible secret. A man with no hope. A mother with no love. A girlfriend with no patience. And a dead rockstar on a mission ... I'm a failed writer dressed in my mother's clothes talking to the dead Lead singer of Nirvana in a small terrace house in Yorkshire. The worst crime is faking it. Times: Tues - Sun at 7.30pm Tickets: £13/11
Remembering LorcanWe have had some very sad news here at the the ORL this week, our Pub Landlord Lorcan Devine passed away very suddenly on Tuesday afternoon. Lorcan would be so touched by the kind words and funny stories that many of you have shared with us, and it helps so much to know how fondly he will be remembered. So please have a pint and lift it to Lorcan, a very special man who made the The Old Red Lion feel like a second home to so many - he will be missed.
