Joe Presley

Meet William, a 20-something Londoner who drifts from coffee shop to bar, falling in love, self-obsessing and finding solace in The Smiths. Torn between conflicting loyalties to the girl of his dreams and his best friend, William has the chance to become more than half a person.

An emotionally charged, coming-of-age story, blending wry comedy and the music of a beloved cult band, sung live. Music Re-Creation by Simon Polinski and Colin Berwick.
