Daughters of Lot

Brain Melt Consortium. A modern day burlesque act with a twist. The entertainment begins as a sexy and silly retelling of an ancient story, until the performers do a trick that requires more than flexibility.

Gotcha!

Suspect Moustache Theatre. Gotcha! is a new one-man play which presents Ernie, a prickly Glaswegian traffic warden, and seven other intertwined characters. Tragedy strikes, but Ernie's indomitable Scottish spirit triumphs over adversity with humour and courage. This play will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you richer for the experience.

The Jhiva of Nietzsche
Location Date Tickets
Theatro Transcendental. Combining live action and multimedia, the performance traces the life of German philosopher Frederic Nietzsche through the eyes of his Jhiva (soul). We see his mind (represented on a digital screen) and soul confront each other in a fascinating debate modelled on Nietzsche's real-life writings. As the two opposing entities come head-to-head, reason and intuition collide in an in-body roller coaster to madness… but only one of the two can find freedom in death. ★★★…

One year later, he has retreated to a remote mountain village, madly scribbling Thus Spake Zarathustra. And advising men to take a whip, when they go to women. Working exclusively with original texts, Playades Theatre Company explores what happened in that seminal year of 1882: philosophy versus reality, society versus individual fulfilment, man versus woman - and…
