Square Peg

I had the great joy of seeing this on opening night and was overjoyed to see he has extended his run of this beautiful one man show. The timing clashed with my own and now that the shows are running earlier in the day I’m hoping to go back for a second helping. Simeon is so comfortable on that stage inviting us into his memories with easy humour and honesty. His comfort in his vulnerability invites you to reflect on your own life through hearing about his. All against a backdrop of the beautiful dresses and accoutrements of his previous professions as a dressmaker and leather worker. I can’t put into words all the reasons you should go see it - just go.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An absolutely stunning performance from such a talented artist. Square Peg is a beautiful exploration of not only societal expectations around love, beauty, and gender but also those we place on ourselves. I laughed, I cried, I left feeling a little braver than when I went in. Go see this show.

I found it so difficult not to be moved by this raw, poignant and equally humourous show. Simeon throws boundaries to the wind and invites the audience into the deepest recesses of his vulnerability, with bravery and candour. Do not miss this!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So incredibly vulnerable, a stunning peek behind the curtain of gender expectations and discovering oneself. Simeon Morris is mesmerising with an electrifying performance not to be missed!

Mesmerising. A show that spoke straight to me. Proof that it is possible to be gentle, graceful and thoroughly charming while incisively exploring the landmark moments of joy, pain, shame and revelation that shape a man. Simeon Morris is driven by an appetite for truth and beauty in the artefacts he creates, the man he is, and the experiences he shares with his audience. I am a man who has lived pretty much the same decades as the artist and I felt understood and released in the experience of this show. I can think of a raft of reasons why thoughtful, passionate, creative women will adore this show. But I want men to see it. I would urge men of all ages to see it while they can. I'll certainly make sure I see it again. It's a rare gem and an important expression of the glorious creative potential of masculinity.

Moving, intimate and charming. Feels like this guy has a million more incredible stories to tell, but the ones he shares are so compelling and hilarious. A beautiful and enlightening experience.

Incredible, intimate and raw performance! The best show I've seen at fringe so far. Simeon Morris is absolutely electric. If you're looking for something that'll make you laugh, cry and leave with a bizarre yearning for cucumber toner this is the show for you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful show, tender, revealing and gentle story of a boy growing up in Norwich wearing dresses and Kohl eyeliner. Beautiful and relaxed stage presence and excellent rapport with audience. Infectious love of his craft of creating dresses and other objects, and emerging bird-like from an awkwardly-parented beginning. A story about coming into yourself at 50 and following your dreams. Would throughly recommend.
