Primadoona
Synopsis:
Primadoona is a true story of a time when life was turned upside down. Written and performed by Doon Mackichan its a roller coaster ride from the heights of celebrity to the depths of despair. Primadoona is a frantic and hilariously brave physical performance that charts the depths of three dark, painful and miraculous years in Mackichans life. The production was awarded a coveted Scotsman Fringe First accolade and played to packed out audiences for the entire run at the Gilded Balloon. This no-holds barred piece of comedy theatre shows the strength of a woman who is not scared to allow people to laugh at her nightmares.
