What Girls Are Made Of

by Cora Bissett TUE 7 & WED 8 MAY 7.30PM £17.50 / CONC £15 14+ It’s 1992. In a small town in Fife, a girl is desperate to get out into the world. An ad in the local paper declares: Band Seeks Singer. Grunge has gone global, indie kids are inheriting the earth, and a schoolgirl from Glenrothes is catapulted to a rock star lifestyle as the singer in a hot new indie band. Touring with Radiohead, partying with Blur, she was living the dream. Until she wasn’t.

Fresh from an award-winning, sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, performed with a live band, this is the true story of Cora Bissett’s rollercoaster journey from the girl she was to the woman she wanted to be, based on her meticulously detailed teenage diaries.

FAMILY DRAMA

This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing A co-production with Imaginate and Stellar Quines

By Finegan Kruckemeyer, directed by Jemima Levick THU 16 MAY 10.30AM & 1.30PM AGES 7 – 12 £5 (TEACHERS GO FREE) What happens when your world is turned upside down and you have to find your own way? When triplet sisters are abandoned in a forest by their father, three resolutions are made – one walks one way to find purpose, another the opposite way to find adventure and the third stays right where she is.

Over many years having grown forests, baked cakes, explored oceans, fought Vikings and built homes… the sisters, now women, meet back in the forest where it all started. A contemporary fairytale about determination, friendship and the ups and downs of growing older.

“Bursting with wit, intelligence and energy, Stellar Quines brings new vigour to Scottish theatre.”

The Scotsman

So when a talented young player, Jordan, turns up for a trial, Kidd sees his golden opportunity. But Yates, the kit-man and club legend, has other ideas. A battle of wills ensues between Yates and Kidd over the future of Jordan and the future of the football club.

New Old Friends present

Crimes on the Coast

By Feargus Woods Dunlop Directed by James Farrell WED 18 SEP 7.30PM £15 Multi-award-winning theatre company New Old Friends present this comedy thriller directed by James Farrell (Associate Director – The 39 Steps, West End). Inspired by Agatha Christie, Hitchcock and film noir, you are invited on a hilarious but murderous trip to a classic English Riviera retreat. A secluded island hotel just off the English coast becomes a crime scene, as a scandal-inducing femme-fatale is felled. All the guests on the island are suspects, but are they alone and is all quite what it seems?

The show, formerly touring as Crimes Under the Sun, enjoyed a sell-out national tour in 2018 and hits the road again in 2019 featuring four actors playing multiple outrageous characters, and a plot that romps along in the company’s trademark inventive style.

One Night in Las Vegas SAT 7 SEP 7.30PM £20 This Scottish nine-piece showband brings great variety, wonderful musicianship, tasteful humour, and classy solo performances in this new show celebrating the iconic stars that have graced Las Vegas venues over the years.

DRAMA

Rapture Theatre Company

Clybourne Park FRI 27 SEP 7.30PM £16 / CONC £14 In 1959, Bev and Russ are moving after the tragic death of their son. Inadvertently, they have sold their house to the neighbourhood’s first black family, which causes ripples of discontent amongst the cosy white urbanites of the local area.

Fifty years later, in 2009, the roles are reversed when a young white couple buys the same house in what is now a predominantly black neighbourhood. In both instances, a community showdown takes place, pitting race against real estate with this home as the battleground. Are the issues buried beneath the floor boards actually the same fifty years on?

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Clybourne Park is a razor-sharp satire about the politics of race.

“Few artists have crafted a niche for themselves quite like Josephine Foster…

She uses distinctive instrumentation – guitar, piano, organ, harp and autoharp – but really her vast oeuvre is all about her unmistakable voice.” Dave Evans, The Guardian.

Described by the Scotsman as “one of Scotland’s all-time great vocalists” Horse has had a successful career spanning over three decades, having opened for and toured with several international artists including Tina Turner, BB King, Bryan Ferry, Burt Bacarach, as well as touring extensively in her own right.

Throughout his career, James has released a succession of critically-acclaimed albums as both a solo artist and as part of the collaborative project Yorkston Thorne Khan. In February 2019, Domino Records released James Yorkston’s 12th solo album – The Route to the Harmonium.

Jenny Lindsay is one of Scotland’s best known spoken word performers.

Her 2018 solo show, ‘This Script and Other Drafts’, was described as “one of this year’s most necessary spoken word performances” by The Wee Review.

Adrian Crowley is a writer of songs, story teller, composer, and a singer with a distinctive voice. He was nominated three times for Ireland's Choice Music Prize and won the prestigious award with his album Season Of The Sparks in 2010. He has toured extensively in Europe and USA, has released four LPs on Scottish label, Chemikal Underground Records, and is currently working on his ninth studio album.

Singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell was described

by Dónal Lunny as “one of the most important traditional singers to emerge in the last decade”. Six months after releasing the album True Born Irishman Daoirí won two prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2017 for Best Newcomer and Best Traditional Track.

Kaviraj Singh is a unique and celebrated talent of the new generation of Santoor (hammered dulcimer) players. He is the youngest artist to have performed at the prestigious Darbar Festival in 2008 and has shared his music widely at popular venues across India, Europe and the UK.
