Beijing Baby!!!


This is a photo of the much coveted 'Golden Hedgehog' that goes to the winner of the Beijing College Drama Festival.  Why is that of interest to us here in rainy Glasgow?  Because 5 of our actors (and one director) are in China right now participating in this prestigious event!

They have brought their new play 'Scavengers' by Davey Anderson to the festival and it made it's premier performance last night to wild acclaim.  We are really proud of the group and it's a huge honour for the RSAMD (almost the RCS now - name change coming in September) to be the only European representatives at the event.  The play is a fast=paced thriller with a whirlwind of characters and an edge-of-your-seat ending.

Below is one of the lucky actors, Francois Menard-Noens, posing by a large projected picture of the poster for the play.

You can catch Scavengers from the end of this month in the not quite as exotic locations of the Tron, the Traverse and The Cockpit - the link to their box office is on the right (the Traverse are still too busy with the Festival so haven't go tickets put yet, but they will soon - we promise) as well as 3 other brand-new plays written by some of Scotland's most exciting playwrights.
