Review: THE KING AND I, King's Theatre, Glasgow

When a group of Cornish fishermen came together to sing the traditional working songs they’d sung for generations, nobody, least of all the fishermen, expected the story to end on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.

Initially published as a performance poetry collection, Love The Sinner will be transformed, in a collaboration between Imogen Stirling and Vanishing Point, into a pulsating full-scale theatre show: a fusion of performance poetry, visual theatre and electronic music.

Based on Stephen King's gripping novella 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption' and one of the best-loved films of all time, The Shawshank Redemption has a lot to live up to.
Review: THE SILENCE AND THE NOISE, Streaming
Raw, brutal, twisted, and full of rich wordplay, this play makes its political points and highlights a relationship which uses regret, mistakes, and teasing to hide what is really happening at its core.
Review: WELCOME TO BANNOCKBURN, Oran Mor
A comedy-drama about shared history, public shaming and the sh*t women face in the workplace.
Review: SEAN AND DARO FLAKE IT 'TIL THEY MAKE IT, Traverse Theatre
Looking for a way out of their humdrum lives in the outskirts of Glasgow, straight-laced Sean, fresh from dropping out of uni, and the gallus Daro, overflowing with charisma and business ‘acumen’, reckon they can be the dream team of frozen treats.

This riotous re-telling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure novella is jam-packed with 20th century pop music and 18th century romance.

Review: WRITE-OFF, Oran Mor, Glasgow
Freddie is a gay man who writes gritty psychological thrillers and refuses to compromise his storytelling approach for the sake of representation or political correctness.
