Love Letters from Blackpool

What is love? Where do we find it? And how do we keep it?

With songs, stories and recorded interviews, Love Letters from Blackpool hopes to answer the age-old question of…

Love Letters from Blackpool is a one woman show using storytelling, song and recorded interviews to tell the story of love in this sea side town.

This acclaimed self-penned work has charmed people from all over the country to fall back in love with Blackpool, warts and all.

Originally commissioned by The Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester, for the very first time in Edinburgh Fringe you can see the full-length version of this charming, funny and thought-provoking show.

ABOUT RUTH E COCKBURN
Ruth grew up in Blackpool. She found quickly that in Blackpool you could have one of three jobs. A singer, a stripper or a sales person. She giggles when she’s naked, is crap at sales, so tried singing instead. This led her to become over the years a comedian, street artist, actor, drag act and subsequently a theatre maker. You could say that Blackpool has made her the person she is today.

Ruth has performed in venues all over the country from the National Theatre, The Comedy Store, Shakespeare’s Globe, right through to working men’s clubs in Wigan and community centres in Cumbria. She’s done them all and now she’s returning to the Edinburgh Fringe with her acclaimed show to tell some stories she’s found along the way.
