Manchester Girl

June 12 through 14, 2014

Turner-Cray inc. Presents

Manchester Girl

After a Fringe First win in Edinburgh and a successful run off London's west end Manchester Girl on route to New York, stops in Santa Barbara for only 3 shows at our very own Center Stage.

Escaping Thatcher's Northern England via Tokyo's 1980s modeling world, small town Sara takes a wild and dangerous ride. This riveting Fringe First-winning play takes you on a vivid journey of hilarious culture clash, discos, drugs, and heartbreak. Be catapulted around the world, from 1980s Manchester to the Japanese fashion world and witness Manchester Girl's heroic journey of self-discovery, transformation, and truth.

FOUR STARS **** THE LONDON TIMES

"Riveting...vivid..uses every inch of her body to relate her tale...feels as vital as if written in her own blood"

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

"An energetic and engaging show...Turner-Cray doesn't let us regret a minute spent in her company"

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

"Impressive still as an actress...Slips in and out of numerous impersonations...all vividly evoked..."

FOUR STARS **** THE SCOTSMAN

"Vividly staged...captures with an eloquence of the body, as much as of language, the huge sense of energy exhilaration and happiness that carries her through those sometimes agonising adventures."

THE HUFFINGTON POST

"Manchester Girl breathes stoic affirmation for women in search of self in an undertow of uncertainty. It dazzles the mind and spirit. Academy Award winning editor Richard Harris is in charge of major technicalities blending moving and photographic images as projectionist. Harris gives great backdrop and vision to Cray's manifesto destiny and in this case the Titanic does not sink. It soars!"
