By Megan Barker. A surreal tale of a woman in the American deep south – a physical tale while cooking a meal for a son on death row. (60 mins, no interval, 3 on stage, 6 on the road, strong language and some sexually explicit content.)

A new play by Booker Prize winning author, James Kelman. An existential play in the mould of Beckett and Pinter, and very funny. (75 mins, 3 on stage, 5 on the road, strong language.)

Devised by Cora Bisset from an Isabel Allende short story, an evocative visual story of a prostitute. Music and physical theatre. (65 mins, no interval, 5 on stage, 7 on the road, some strong language.)
