SARAH JANE QUINN - WRITER

Home Body is a new musical written by SARAH JANE QUINN. The original version of Home Body was non-musical and written for Short Attention Span Theatre Company's series of short plays in 2018. The play was performed at The Old Hairdresser's venue in Glasgow and also at The Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh. It received an excellent reception from the audience who laughed in all the right places! Sarah Jane has since adapted the original play into HOME BODY - THE MUSICAL and is very excited that an Edinburgh Fringe audience will see the play debut in August 2024 in new venue Coco Boho. Sarah plans to take Home Body on tour in the future and is delighted to be showcasing it at Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
