Catch this interview with Linda talking about her new play, when only one thing is for sure; nothing.

The Uncertainty Files is one of the co-productions with Paines Plough touring company. It opens at Oran Mor on Monday 13th until Saturda 11th September. Afterwards it goes on tour to Live Theatre Newcastle,the Traverse in Edinburgh, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and finally Bewley’s Cafe Theatre in Dublin.

Here is the winning review:

If life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think, then death provides
a bit of both in this hilarious play by Marie Jones. The ubiquity of the dead Davie means
that we never lose sight of the serious issues it raises as we follow the exploits of
Frances and Loretta.The success of the play lies in the fact that as we blink away tears of laughter in the brightness of the day, we are left contemplating important questions about old age, disability and loneliness and wondering what kind of society pays the mimimum wage to those who serve the community so well.

If you are coming along this week to see In the Pipeline, don’t forget to leave a review for the Critics’ Circle and you could be in for a chance of winning a bottle of Malt.

The play runs at Oran Mor until Saturday. Afterwards it goes on tour to Live Theatre Newcastle,the Traverse in Edinburgh, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and finally Bewley’s Cafe Theatre in Dublin. And don’t forget, you can be a critic yourself. Leave a review of the play for our Critics’ Circle Competition and you could win a bottle of Malt Whisky.

In the Pipeline runs from Monday 6th – Saturday 10th September.

The first of our five Co-Productions, Fly Me to the Moon, opens on Monday 30th. Hope to see you all there.

Marie Jones talks to David about her funny new comedy. Fly Me to the Moon opens next Monday, the 30th August and runs until Saturday 4th September.

I am very much looking forward to seeing you in the new season at Oran Mor. We open next Monday 30^th August with a very funny new comedy, Fly Me To The Moon, by Marie Jones from Belfast. Marie wrote Women on the Verge of HRT and Stones in his Pockets and first came to Glasgow with Charabanc Theatre in the early days of Mayfest. Monday 30th is a bank holiday – so if you’re free why don’t you come along and help us get the season off to a cracking start.

We’ve got 14 new plays for you and prices stay the same. The first five plays are co-productions with Paines Plough and when they’ve premiered at Oran Mor are going on to tour to Newcastle, Edinburgh, Coventry and Dublin. So where Glasgow leads others now follow!
