Just watched this...fabulously acted and beautifully played by a superb ensemble cast with excellent writing. It tells us much about our history and heritage. Great social commentary of the times. #itainthalfhotmum

Thank you @scotsuktheatre for your wonderful words and 5 yes 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Our brilliant cast @erinarmstrongg @jonculshaw @julie_coombe @HelenLogan71 and Alan McHugh are well chuffed. @lenatheplay @AssemblyFest @edfringe
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #Lena at @AssemblyFest. Erin Armstrong shines like a star as Lena Zavaroni. From joy to the ultimate heartbreak in just under 1.5 hours. From Rothesay, to #OpportunityKnocks and a life ruined by Anorexia, this is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. #WhatsOn #EdFringe
