Manic Street Creature, created by Maimuna Memon, is a semi-autobiographical, concept album musical following the journey of a young woman called Ria, and the curse of her own compassion. 

​

Winner of a Fringe First Award from The Scotsman, The Stage's Edinburgh Award and the 2022 Mental Health Fringe Award.

 

​

Love, lust and late nights collide in a musical rollercoaster,

taking the audience through the euphoria and distress

of two people dealing with their own and each other's mental health.

 

Ria is working with her band to complete a new album – songs charting the

rise and fall of a recent relationship.

​

But the more Ria progresses, the more she’s drawn back to the darkness of her troubled past,

until we’re not sure where memory ends and reality begins.
