Pieces of My Life
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
Facing a two-week eviction notice just days after his mum’s death, Kirris sets up a makeshift podcast studio in his childhood council flat, recording the story of his life before he has to leave.
An autobiographical story of love, loss and resilience.
Facing a two-week eviction notice just days after his mum’s death, Kirris sets up a makeshift podcast studio in his childhood council flat, recording the story of his life before he has to leave.
Weaving memories, music and fragments from his journal, he brings to life the experiences that have shaped him, confronting identity, grief and the lifelong struggle with systemic racism.
At the heart of the show is his fiercely optimistic mum, whose love, humour and creativity continue to guide him.
With original music, raw vulnerability and powerful storytelling, Pieces of My Life is a deeply human exploration of defiance, family and home.
Written and performed by TV and theatre actor Kirris Riviere (Hollyoaks, The Sandman). Produced by award-winning theatre company Ad Infinitum (Last Rites, Beautiful Evil Things) and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
Recommended for ages 12+

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
