We got through it with just one little lip tremble and a very minor chin wobble, and Laila only gave one political speech about government underfunding of the arts - success!
It is with a heavy heart to let you all know that next week will be our last event for the foreseeable future, our second

Another epic evening and our last of 2022! What a show to go out on - four incredible pieces expertly directed and performed with a panel of Scottish legends closing out a year of exceptional new writing - and with a sold out audience!
We’d love to say it was an artistic choice but honestly this picture is just evidence of us trying to rush everyone to the bar.
Another packed house, an evening packed with drama, comedy and the freshest new writing, and a bar packed with chatting, networking and new chums.
