About A Play A Pie & A Pint
Check out the What’s On section of the website for full programme details.
Òran Mór’s groundbreaking lunchtime theatre programme, A Play, a Pie and a Pint, began in 2004 and now commissions and produces 38 new plays a year. We produce the work of many of Scotland’s best known writers, as well as presenting the work of new young playwrights. We have also presented seasons of plays from writers from Latin America, the Arab World and China.
Plays from PPP have been seen at the Edinburgh Festival, the Belfast Festival, the Brighton Festival, the Adelaide Festival, the Island Festival in Tasmania, the Golden Mask Festival in Moscow and the Last Frontier Theatre Festival in Alaska.
We’ve also had plays from Òran Mór performed in Newcastle, Manchester, Coventry, Bristol, London, Seoul, Beirut, Milan, Amsterdam, Dublin, Bermuda and New York. The Tiny Dynamite Theatre in Philadelphia has done several seasons of A Play A Pie and a Pint and we recently got invited by the British Council in Brazil to help them set up PPP in Sao Paolo. Where Glasgow leads, the rest of the world follows!
We run each week Monday – Saturday.
Performances start at 1pm and are just under an hour in length.

04 October 2012, 5:49 amI would like to bring my mother, who is in her 70′s to a play, but she thinks she would be the oldest person there and feel out of place.
What is the approx age range of audiences?
admin said;
04 October 2012, 8:40 amDear Jackie. Please let your mother know that she would certainly not be out of place at A Play A Pie and A Pint. We get a very varied age group, and with the plays being on in the afternoon, a lot of our audience are those lucky people who are retired and have the luxury of spending their afternoons watching some stimulating theatre, having a drink and a snack. Hope to see you and your mother here soon. PPP Team

Graham said;
14 November 2012, 3:10 pmI have purchased 6 tickets for the panto through Ticketweb and have now been informed that I have to pick them up on the day of the performance. Will this entail queueing up with all the people waiting to purchase tickets for that day or, is there some other arrangement whereby we can collect our tickets?
admin said;
15 November 2012, 9:20 amHi Graham. No you will not have to queue to pick up the tickets. You will be given your ticket from the front of house manager just as you head down the stairs, at the point where you would usually just show your ticket. PPP Team
