Rita is an ageing, washed up club singer from Manchester with a chip on her shoulder and a Marlboro Light in her hand. Wee Dougie, a Glaswegian boy with a dream, is Rita’s latest singing student. And, spoiler alert! He is also in love with her. After many years of failure, Rita is determined to make Dougie a star! 


Capitalism, the sell by date of women and being working class in the arts are just a few of the obstacles these two dreamers face on the road to La La Land, but armed with show tunes and delusion, Rita and Dougie are ready to put on a show to charm even the most hardened of Hollywood agents!

Content warning: Rude language and audience interaction

Image description: Rita and Dougie poster- Rita a white older woman with black rockstar-esque hair and red lipstick, wearing a leopard print dress is pouting at the camera with a cigarette held in her hand. Dougie a white androgynous person dressed as a little boy, with makeup accentuating his wide eyes and rosy freckled cheeks, wearing a blue jumper with a sailboat on it and a sailor’s hat looks at the camera in confusion. They both are distorted so their heads are bigger than their bodies, and are sprouting out of the hollywood hills on a sky-blue background. A red aeroplane flies between them dragging a banner that says ‘Rita and Dougie go to’. The sentence is completed by the Hollywood sign nestled in the hills. Also superimposed onto the hills are small images of an oil-rig, a pack of Marlboro lights, Mickey Mouse, a scout badge and Michael’s Buble’s star from the Hollywood walk of fame.
