The second new play (out of four) under our spotlight is 'Scavengers' by Davey Anderson and directed by Claire Moyer. The group have been selected to go to Beijing in a few weeks time to perform at a student theatre festival - very exciting! Here's a little bit about the play:
The credit bubble has burst and Michael Findlater, property developer and entrepreneur, stands on the brink of financial ruin. Then one day he goes missing leaving his family behind. Sometime later, a group of scavengers climb through the window of an empty building and discover a lost man squatting among the debris.
Part absurd comedy, part mythical yarn, Scavengers tells the story of one man’s disappearance between the cracks of society, his attempt to survive off the scraps of the consumer economy, and his quest to rediscover who he is and where he belongs.
Tickets are now available from the venues for the new plays at the Tron and the Cockpit but not quite at The Traverse yet - they're too busy with festival stuff right now! We shall be looking at the two other new plays in the near future, but for a sneak preview of 'The Bends' by Iain F Macleod - just follow this link to their blog.
