In June 2025 Claire Dowie returned to the Finborough Theatre where she started her career as a stand-up comedian, playwright and performer more than forty years ago. Her Swansong featured four plays from four decades. This dual-edition was published to coincide with her 2025 return to the Finborough Theatre, and contains two of the four plays. The other two are also published by Methuen Drama in Why Is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt?: and Other Stand-up Theatre Plays. H to He (I’m turning into a man) is inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis and tells the story of a woman discovering she’s turning into a man. Claire Dowie offers a shocking exploration of gender, sexuality and ageing.
