This is a lovely piece of news.
Manchester bombing victim and Coronation Street uber-fan Martyn Hett is to be celebrated in a new play called #BeMoreMartyn
It's going to be based on friends’ memories of Martyn and will include divas, glamour and, almost certainly, a flamboyant take on some of Coronation Street’s best-loved characters.
The play, produced by the Hope Theatre Company, will ask the question: “How do we be more Martyn?”
Adam Zane, artistic director of Hope Theatre Company, said: “This is a unique event celebrating Martyn’s extraordinary take on popular culture. I wasn’t fortunate enough to meet Martyn during his life, but having spoken with so many of his friends and family during the research for this production, I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to share their memories of him than word for word.”
#BeMoreMartyn will run at Hope Mill Theatre in Ancoats, Manchester, on 22 and 23 October at 7.30pm. Tickets will be priced £20 and all profits will be donated to Martyn’s favoured charities, Beacon Counselling, Beechwood Cancer Care Centre and Kidscan.
