Didn't You Used To Be Somebody?

Mancunian actress Sue Devaney (Coronation Street, Dinnerladies, Mamma Mia) stars in this funny and poignant one woman performance about suffering, survival and sweet tooth surrender, it is a story about someone who is a slave to the crave.

Didn’t You Used To Be Somebody? sees a woman of a certain age with an insatiable appetite for all things bright and beautiful and off the scale bad.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from everything and everyone, or hung out at a ‘poor me, poor me, pour me another’ pity party, then plug into this tale of twisted compulsions and extremes and experience what happens when the addict self is left to run the shit show.

One hour performance followed by Q&A.

Didn’t You Used To Be Somebody? is a premiere, commissioned for Recoverist Month by Portraits of Recovery and developed in partnership with HOME.

Recoverist Month celebrates the aspirational hopes, desires, fears, and dreams of Greater Manchester, people, and communities in recovery from addiction. Lived experience is centre stage, promoting positive health messaging and framing recovery as a viable lifestyle choice.
