Heads Up
Tue 14 March at 7.30pm
By Kieran Hurley
A city. Just like this. Right now. A teenage girl boils up in rage in a toilet cubicle. A finance worker preaches doom in a busy train station. An absurd coke-addled celebrity races through town on a mission. A paranoid stoner stares blankly at the endless disasters on the TV news. In just one moment, all their worlds will end.
Multi award-winner Kieran Hurley weaves a picture of a familiar city at its moment of destruction, asking what would we do if we found ourselves at the end of our world as we know it.
Directed by Julia Taudevin and Alex Swift. Music by Michael John McCarthy. As part of the Made In Scotland showcase 2016.
“Searing, scorching monologue.”
The independent
“Kieran Hurley\'s new solo show is a quiet hurricane blowing through the city. It is an anxious whisper that becomes a shout.”
The Guardian
Running time: 65 minutes, no interval
Age recommendation: 14+
Expensive S**t

by Adura Onashile
‘The country change, the city change, the people dem think they change, but I tell you dem shit the same. Dem all dey run from it the same.’ One toilet attendant. Two sets of toilets. One night. Worlds apart.’
A nightclub toilet attendant in a fictional club based on the Shimmy Club in Glasgow. Her conflicted journey spliced with flashbacks to the toilets of the Shrine nightclub in Lagos, Nigeria, where her younger self dreams of revolution. An unseen, underground heroine struggles to have power and control over her life.
