Past Productions
Based on a play by J.M.Barrie, After Mary Rose was a dark and atmospheric new play which marked the Scottish debut of award-winning playwright D Jones.
My Old Man by Tom McGrath
Sam Macreadie is back…He just can't quite remember why. A moving, funny dark and sometimes disturbing look at what holds families together and what happens to the mind as it ages.
Word for Word by Linda McLean
An old woman, Martha, is the last native speaker of an ancient language and carries the cultural DNA of her people in the stories she has in her head, handed down from generation to generation.
The Dream Train by Tom McGrath
In a castle somewhere on Scotland's east coast, a moth-eaten baron obsessed with the music of Bach struggles to sleep. He is tended by a strange androgynous figure, sometimes the young 18th century pianist Goldberg, sometimes a beautiful young girl who seems to love him.
A lone man is assailed by a lollipop man, an old lady with a zimmer frame and a group of Neds as he fights his way across town to an urgent but mysterious appointment. Will he make it, and what's in the case he's guarding so carefully?
Developed from a monologue by playwright Ronan O'Donnell, Braziliana was an interactive website.
