A Play, A Pie and A Pint: Volume Two

We are thrilled to announce the publication of A Play, A Pie and A Pint: Volume Two, a special collection of plays as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations!

This is the second volume of plays published by Salamander Street, which was made possible thanks to generous crowdfunding campaign that was match funded by Creative Scotland last year.

The book features eight plays that were first staged at Òran Mór from 2006 to 2023, that were picked by members of our theatre company, both past and present, and by the public.

• Rose by Lorna Martin (public choice)  – a one-woman play based on the true story about women’s football trailblazer Rose Reilly.
  
• Fleeto by Paddy Cunneen  – A knife-crime drama set in modern-day Glasgow, inspired by the story of the Iliad.
  
• Odis by Alaedinne Chouiref, Soumer Daghastani, Arze Khodr, Omar Madkour, Zainab Magdy and Alia Mossallum – a comedy set during the first Arab Spring teaching a live audience how to be a revolutionary.
  
• Tír Na NÓg by Dave Anderson – a magical realism musical set in Tír na nÓg , the “Land of the Young” in Celtic mythology.
  
• Storytelling by Oliver Emanuel – a comedy-drama about two people telling the story of how a man is going to die.
  
• The Great Replacement by Uma Nada-Rajah – a comedy-drama about intergenerational politics and the absurdities of race.
  
• Write-Off by Aodhan Gallagher – a queer comedy-drama about two stubbornly gay men from different generations.
  
• Rachel’s Cousins by Ann Marie Di Mambro – a heartfelt play about a family dealing with the diagnosis of a gene that can lead to breast cancer.

Volume Two also has a special foreword by Scottish theatre critic Joyce McMillan, a full list of every one of our shows over the past two decades, and some lovely archive photography.

The book is available to order online now through Salamander Street. A limited number will be available to buy in person at our shows from Mon 23 Sep, and at our 20th anniversary gala on Sun 13 Oct.

Thank you for all your support and patience, we are delighted to share this wonderful collection with you!
