LOWBORN THEATRE is a working class theatre company, focusing on showing working class stories through working class creatives. All Fur Coat was written by company founder, Meghan C Loughran. In this show, we look at Archie. Archie feels lost, and he’s growing up fast. He has a lot of questions. How to get a girlfriend? How to get my mum to stop nagging me? Why’s my brother a dick? When Archie finally finds a girlfriend, and things start to finally look up, he has one question left: ‘Who’s my dad?’

‘Meghan C. Loughran’s All Fur Coat offers a raw and heart-felt telling of an enormously relevant inner-city, working-class story. She writes with an unapologetic authenticity, taking us on a journey filled with a sophisticated blend of humour and heartbreak, arriving at a most poignant and surprising ending. Loughran’s ability to unearth a profound sense of joy and magnificence from the ordinary and mundane is truly captivating.’
