A Play, A Pie and A Pint springs into action again on Monday, opening with BUTTERFLY by first time playwright Anne Hogg, featuring River City stars Paul James Corrigan and Frank Gallagher.

Paul, who can regularly be seen as cheeky barman Stevie Burns on the soap, stars alongside Frank, known to most as hardman Lenny Murdoch. Set in 1987, the play is based around the real life event of the closure of the Caterpillar factory in Uddingston.

BUTTERFY by Anne Hogg
Directed by Stasi Schaeffer
Featuring Paul James Corrigan and Frank Gallagher

MON 26th – SAT 31st JAN

It’s March 1987 and Jamie Cassidy is facing redundancy. This, in an area already ravaged by factory closures, is bad enough but making a life shattering discovery has driven him to despair. In an attempt to get away from everything to consider his future Jamie climbs the factory’s water tower. However, he soon discovers he’s not alone…or the only one with problems. Butterfly is a black comedy dealing with complicated lives, loves, buried secrets… and a geriatric baby with an extreme fear of heights.

Welcome to our 22nd season of A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór! We want to thank all of our audience for enthusiastically continuing to support A Play, A Pie and A Pint in ever increasing numbers making our last season the busiest to date!

We return with 19 new plays for you in our Spring season including new drama from Russia and Ukraine reflecting current events in both of those countries. We will also celebrate our 350th play by premiering the first American play to come from our sister company in Philadelphia.

Other plays in the season include a new Gaelic version of Whisky Galore with the National Theatre of Scotland and the second David MacLennan award for new playwrights. We are also continuing to work with other venues such as the Sherman Cymru in Cardiff, the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, Aberdeen Performing Arts and the Ayr Gaiety Theatre to send plays out across Scotland and to the rest of the UK.

In order to match increasing costs we have reluctantly had to increase our ticket prices very slightly for the first time in ten years but we are confident that we will continue to provide excellent value for money. We hope there is something in our season for everyone and look forward to welcoming regular customers and first timers alike to Glasgow’s friendliest, liveliest venue.
