Before the war Bob was a budding musician, playing along to silent movies in the Picture Houses of Glasgow, a job he loved. December 1918, he returns from France, blinded, scarred and stuck in a small town with no job prospects. As the action moves between the last few months of WW1 and the immediate aftermath, a strange encounter brings Bob the hope that he may not have played his last picture show.
Over the years Morag has written & directed many theatre productions including 5 plays for PPP : ‘Casablanca, the Gin Joint Cut’ went on to be performed in London, Paris, Barbados & Dunoon and has been selected for this year’s New York Fringe.
