About Shannon Matthews: The Musical - Live at Edinburgh Fringe
Foul-mouthed mother-from-hell Karen Matthews is fed up being a nobody, until she hatches a cunning plan for a shot at the big time. Henpecked common-law husband Craig Meehan seems to have an unhealthy obsession with his laptop. Borderline special needs uncle Michael Donovan just wants a bit of company and a couple of quid for some baccy. Stereotypical Yorkshire copper D.I. Radgitt faces a race against time to unravel the web of lies and find the missing girl, Shannon Matthews, aged 9. This is Shannon Matthews: The Musical, an irreverent, potty-mouthed, black comedy romp through one of the most bizarre news stories of this century. The production has been brought out from under the bed base by Yorkshire’s own Tuppence Ha’penny Theatre Company.
Directed by Sam Chapman, Shannon Matthews: The Musical - Live at Edinburgh Fringe leans on a strong ensemble — Samantha Hindman, Joe McCallum, Will Murray — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2022.
