After a decade of no exercise (besides child-rearing and reaching for cake) 41-year-old poet P Burton-Morgan finds themselves newly single and hungry to return to pre-childbirth levels of fitness. Cue Rocky montage, but with a middle-aged red-faced mum reciting sonnets on the South West Coast path. So far so solitary until they join their local running club and find themselves drawn into a world of flirting, friendship, fierce competition and the unexpected discovery that they’re ferociously fast. With their trademark mix of witty wordplay and open-hearted tenderness this solo show is a silly, sexy, sweaty romp – don’t forget to stretch first.

Better known for their work as a writer & director – Sherlock Holmes and the PoisonWood (Watermill), The Little Prince (Taunton Brewhouse) and In the Willows (Exeter Northcott & 16 week UK tour), Ledbury Poetry-Slam-winning poet, P Burton-Morgan, returns with a new solo poetry show after the success of their barn-storming 2025 production Explaining Being Pan to Nan (Oxford Playhouse & UK Tour).
