A queer solo show about overcoming adversity and finding connection.
Traveling from NYC to Edinburgh comes Will Morrison and their solo show, "Hi. I'm Will." from August 2nd to August 11th at Just the Tonic.
"Hi. I'm Will." is a funny, caustic and vulnerable solo show about who Will Morrison is (aka the gay, genderqueer, sober slut they are) and how their journey through alcohol withdrawal and an abusive relationship got them to where they are today. It is a story about overcoming hard times and finding new connections, meaning and priorities in the aftermath. It features music written by Morrison as well as some cover songs.
This show is based on Morrison's personal experience with substance abuse, alcohol withdrawal and an abusive relationship and how those intersect with a story about their queer identity, relationship with their family and their love of super heroes. In bringing it to Fringe this year, it is Morrison's hope to connect with a wider audience through humor, music and sharing their powerful story. And it is Will's hope that those with similar experiences will find catharsis and know they aren't alone. As Will says in the show "I wrote this show because it's something I would've needed to hear 7 years ago."
