Hannah Jarrett-Scott News

The King's Theatre, Glasgow will welcome the return of Darren Brownlie and Blythe Jandoo to the cast of this year's high-flying pantomime Peter Pan, produced by Crossroads Pantomimes. They will be joined by King's Theatre newcomer, Scottish actress Hannah Jarrett-Scott.

Gunter is a messy play. Literally. There’s sand, dirt, blood, confetti, and ink all over the actors and the floor. Fringe company Dirty Hare throw absolutely everything at their canvas, in a piece that includes music to projections to microphones, shadow puppetry, and masks. In this rare gem of a show, however, it all sticks. Usually, when critics refer to a show as ‘messy’, it’s a bad thing. When I call Gunter messy, I mean it with the utmost praise. 

The Royal Court Theatre has announced the transfer of Dirty Hare’s award-winning production of Gunter, co-created by Lydia Higman, Julia Grogan and Rachel Lemon. 

Five women have come together with one goal, one dream. Coming from very different backgrounds in life they have to work together as a team if they want to do what no one from Scotland has ever done before. To win the Homeless World Cup, and bring the trophy home.

Scott Bakula will star Off-Broadway in the world premiere musical The Connector, conceived and directed by Daisy Prince, featuring music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, and a book by Jonathan Marc Sherman.

The Traverse has announced the upcoming production of Same Team - A Street Soccer Story following a public reading during TravFest23 and as the final production of the Traverse's 60th anniversary year.

Gunter is an energetic, subtle, genuinely amusing, hard-hitting piece that ties the effects of violence and suspicion to the patriarchal structure and all its demands. Julia Grogan, Norah Lopez-Holden, and Hannah Jarrett-Scott materialise the story while Higman narrates it and contextualises it sitting at her drums, electric guitar in hand. Titles introduce the characters and set the scene, streamlining the process and maintaining a beckoning pace freed from the need of any lengthy explanation. Unshackled from the constraints of historical accuracy but rooted in the factual events, the show is feminist fringe theatre at its best.

BWW caught up with Dirty Hare (Julia Grogan, Lydia Higman and Rachel Lemon) to chat about bringing Gunter to the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
