From On The Verge to Beijing


The 'On The Verge' festival is now over with all of the MACCT pieces getting great reviews.  There was a huge spread of genres and styles from one-on-one theatre to slapstick comedy via tribal rituals!  Check out the links on the right (Lethe, Sugar Factories and Lucas Petite) to read more about the shows.



We now are having a week off before heading back into the 'Wars of The Roses' with the Bard in the Botanics team.  This time, instead of the comfort of a nice theatre, we shall be performing these outside in Glasgow's botanic gardens.  Yes, that's right... outside... yes we are in Scotland ... and yes, it is a mad idea but we can't wait!

After that we start work on our new writing project, where we shall be performing brand new plays from 4 fantastic Scottish playwrights.  One of the groups, performing Davey Anderson's 'Scavengers', has been chosen to go to Beijing to take part in an international Student Festival!  Very exciting stuff, here's their welcome video - Claire seems to find something hilarious about it all... I'm not sure what though!
