Messy Dress Productions

By Michelle Ashton.

Adam has never had a job. At the age of twenty-four he is deemed lazy and useless by everyone around him: but when his mum, Bev, is made redundant after over a decade of working in the NHS the tables are turned.

As Adam struggles to set up a life for himself and his new family, Bev is left wondering – 'If we’re all in this together, why do I feel so alone?'

Nominated for Best Drama and Best New Writing at the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival, The Stars Are Made of Concrete shows the people behind the statistics and how they try to carry on with grace, humour and ladyboys.
