Andromaque

Synopsis:
Hermione is a beauty, a trophy men could kill for. But her fiance, Pyrrhus, rejects her for newly widowed Andromaque, who he wants with an animal passion. He would do anything to get her, even threaten the life of her infant son. When Pyrrhus winds up murdered, the two women must answer for it. This "Classic Cut" version of Racine's epic tale of passion and murder is retold by its two ferocious female protagonists.

Synopsis:

Notes:
One city, 50 writers, 50 plays, 25,000 words. In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we invited fifty emergent playwrights to work with us over the course of our birthday year. the worldwide search for the Traverse Fifty started last September with a challenge to write a 500-word Play for Edinburgh. Of the 630 applications, we selected the most urgent voices to form our Traverse Fifty. In January, these 50 plays were premiered all together, in one epic performance. This August, in the midst of our Festival Fever, we are re-staging these extraordinary plays, over two thrilling nights. This is your chance to see the future.

Misanthrope, The

Synopsis:
Al has had enough. He is surrounded by pretenders who smile to his face and bitch about him behind his back. He wants no more part of it. The only problem is that he is in love with Selina who is the biggest player of them all.

Notes:
A Glasgow updating of Moliere's seventeenth century comedy of manners, The Misanthrope is a razor sharp satire that will have you all questioning how much we trust the people that call us  friend.
