TBG’s LOST…FOUND has completed its Edinburgh journey!
We are so proud to have shared this important story with the wider theatre community.
Thank you to all those who supported this production on its way, whether that support was artistic, financial, emotional, or otherwise.
“This brave story is about a person trying to find the light among the darkness and using his love for music to save his life.
Filled with beautiful snapshots of the joy and freedom of youth, real world trauma and a record player, audiences are transported to K. Lorrel Manning’s living room, dancing, healing, and letting go!” – Chris Omaweng, London Theatre 1
“Manning transports us with a candid and vulnerable monologue…this solo show is too complex to reduce to a single message, but its ultimately hopeful nature and inspiring presenter is sure to move its audience.” – Peter Napier, edfringereview.com
“When Manning shares his catharsis as an adult it feels genuine, not some full-circle moment placed glibly for narrative cohesion, and it moved me to tears.” – Emily Lipscombe, edfringereview.com
