Going Out Out

They say that, when you start getting older. Anything you wanna be able to do, keep doing it often cos you'll never get it back. I thought they meant touching your toes or running 5K, I didn't think they meant getting on trams. Ian has gone out less since he became a widower. In fact, he hasn't gone out at all, and his relationship with his daughter Lauren is suffering. But when charity volunteer Raz finds Ian in the garden wearing his late wife's dress, an unlikely friendship develops. Before long, Ian finds himself back in the local working men's club, preparing to give the performance of his life. Going Out Out is an infectiously story about music, love and the courage it takes to cope with grief. It opened at HOME, Manchester, in October 2025.
