'Delamonthasanalmost supernatural gift for storytelling no bland synopsis can convey the powerof this simple tale.'- Lara Rae

Delamonthasanalmost supernatural gift for storytelling no bland synopsis can convey the powerof this simple tale of his relationship with the person most central in his life.

I found it more authentically funny than his God is a Scottish Drag Queen character, and found the dramatic sections to be almost painfully raw. A spectacular evening of theatre.

One word sums up the theme of this magnificent work: forgiveness. Bring Kleenex.
