 Shoplifters, Shopgirls

Shoplifters, Shopgirls

Synopsis:
at the begiining, two women stand facing one another, using their voices in powerful, almost operatic style to vocalise around phrases like yellow t-shirt and stripey pants. Then, in the dark  and recurring throughout most of the show  there are beautifully-read voice-overs from the diary of someone who might be a young gay man living in Glasgow, recording what clothes he wears, and what signals they send. Theres a scene where half-a-dozen performers, under the direction of artist Clare Stephenson, arrange themselves around the stage like shop-window dummies; one painstakingly puts on a pair of socks without sitting down, or bending at all. Theres a love song, delivered in classic chanteuse style by a tiny blonde in black. and finally, the show takes a swerve towards a more theatrical style, as a taller woman with sleek red hair stands in front of a dazzling white venetian blind, belting out Gertrude-Stein style strings of apparently meaningless letters and sounds.
Joyce McMillan, Scotsman
