This is no misery memoir, Byrne is too talented a comic for that- The Arts Desk
Poignant, touching, spiky and laugh-out-loud funny… beautifully written and flawlessly performed- Edinburgh Reviews

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
