'Val from Anfield' is off to Edinburgh! 🎭
A one-woman show founded in Liverpool is heading to the iconic Edinburgh Fringe Festival after experiencing success on the BBC.
The character's popularity led to the development of a full show, which will hit the world's largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this August. Claire and long-time friends and collaborators, co-writer David Catterall and producer Thomas O'Kane, had originally planned an entirely different show for 2020's festival but their plans, like many others, were scuppered in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The show sees the titular Val packing up her home in Anfield after being unable to save it from developers. Audiences will be treated to a blend of comedy, heart and nostalgia as Val shares all from the comfort of her "living room". "She wasn't based on just one person but more so all the tough, loving, witty Scouse women that have raised us and who we see all around us. I like to think they're the backbone of Liverpool. She's the Scouse auntie that would give you her last pound but never take any messing.
