Critically Acclaimed Play Up A Close Comes to The Pavilion Theatre

Following a sell-out Spring and Autumn run across Scotland in 2024, The Kingsman Travelling Theatre Company is thrilled to bring Up A Close – Joanna’s Story to The Pavilion Theatre for a special matinee and evening performance.

This heartwarming and nostalgic production tells the story of Joanna, who finds herself reflecting on her life in her Partick tenement flat after her husband doesn’t come home one night. As she reminisces about her marriage, children, and childhood in the mid-1970s, the audience is taken on a journey through the laughter, love, and struggles of working-class Glasgow. From memories of her mum, dad, and Auntie Sandra to best friend Anne Marie, the nuns, and dancing up the toon to the Bay City Rollers, Up A Close is a beautifully written and performed tale of tough love, resilience, and community spirit.

With its mix of humour, poignancy, and pure Glasgow banter, this unforgettable play will have audiences laughing, crying, and seeing themselves in Joanna’s story. Don’t miss your chance to experience this exceptional production at The Pavilion Theatre.
