Billy Cowan’s Still Ill To Be Performed At The Lantern Theatre As Part Of Homotopia Festival.

A tragic love story between ‘the jumped up pantry boy’ and the ‘boy with the thorn in his side’ comes to Liverpool’s Lantern Theatre on 21ST and 22nd November, as part of Homotopia Festival.

Still Ill is an award-winning new play that explores the legacy of the peace process in Northern Ireland and the music of The Smiths. It is a blistering drama that involves gay paramilitaries and gives an honest assessment of Ulster ten years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.

Written by award-winning playwright Billy Cowan (who teaches Creative Writing at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk) and directed by Kenneth Branagh’s younger sister Joyce.
