About

Back at the Traverse for the first time since its world premiere at TravFest23, this bold and ground-breaking gig theatre piece - based on the real-life experiences of Kyle Falconer (The View) and his partner Laura Wilde - follows two new parents as they face the challenges of parenthood and the weight of postnatal depression.

Through a powerful blend of music, tears, and laughter, the audience is taken on a heartfelt journey as they navigate their new life together. Songs taken from Kyle’s hit second solo album – No Love Songs for Laura – are reimagined live on stage in this honest and urgent musical, capturing the essence of love, parenthood, and the struggles that come with it

No Love Songs is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
