Zinnie Harris’ compelling drama about three women who are<br />

Oresteia is an exhilarating and contemporary take on an ancient<br />
Greek drama.<br />

If you are born in a country where being yourself can get you killed,<br />
exile is your only choice.<br />
Adam is the remarkable, true story of a young trans man having to<br />
make that choice and begin his journey. From Egypt to Scotland, it<br />
charts Adam’s fight across borders and genders to find a place to<br />
call home.<br />
In a world first, Adam features a 120-strong, international world<br />
choir of trans individuals from across the globe which has been<br />
uniquely integrated into this remarkable multimedia production.<br />
Adam has been conceived for the stage by Cora Bissett, who<br />

Eve tells the story of a child raised as a boy, when she knew all<br />
along that was wrong. That child grew up to be one of the 10<br />
outstanding women in Scotland in <strong>2017</strong>. What does that do to our<br />
understanding of what it is to be human in times of revolutionary<br />
change?<br />
With trans rights again under threat, legendary playwright,<br />
performer, father and grandmother Jo Clifford tells a story both<br />
gentle and passionate, intimate and political, to remind us that<br />
the journey towards our real selves is one we all need to make,<br />
wherever it leads us.<br />

When Josef Stalin dies in 1953, the inhabitants of prison camps<br />
across Russia are liberated. But with life in the Service all he has<br />
ever known, loyal guard dog Ruslan remains at his post and faithful<br />
to his Master, even as he gives his final unthinkable order.<br />
Faithful Ruslan is a funny and hard-hitting satire on the Stalinist<br />
regime in Russia seen through the eyes of a guard dog. This is a<br />
modern ‘Animal Farm’ for the world of Trump, May and Putin.<br />
This highly-physical production is directed by Polish director<br />
Helena Kaut-Howson, whose adventurous, passionate and<br />
imaginative work has led to her being named one of the most<br />
influential directors in the UK. Co-founder of ground-breaking<br />
theatre company <strong>Theatre</strong> de Complicite and one of “contemporary<br />
theatre’s greatest clowns” (The Guardian) Marcello Magni joins<br />

Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie and Spud seek life through the point of<br />
a needle in this coarse, intense and hilarious rollercoaster ride<br />
through the heroin hinterlands of Thatcher-era Leith, based on<br />
Irvine Welsh’s cult novel. Gareth Nicholls’ acclaimed production<br />
honours both the iconic novel and Danny Boyle’s famous film<br />
adaptation, while creating a hard-hitting and poignant theatre<br />
show about urban alienation and young lives under pressure.<br />

It’s nearly time for the Prince’s ball, but poor Cinderella is working<br />
her fingers to the bone in the cold and dark kitchens thanks to her<br />
cruel and greedy step-sisters’ nasty tricks. Luckily, Cinderella has<br />
the help of some new friends and a little magic, to help her get to<br />
the ball and win the heart of the Prince. But does her heart’s true<br />
desire lie closer to home?<br />
Dominic Hill brings his trademark theatrical style to this fun twist<br />
on a classic fairytale. Full of silliness, slapstick and live music this<br />
is the perfect choice for families looking for alternative festive<br />
entertainment this Christmas.<br />

Belfast in the early 1990s. Against a backdrop of gunfire and police<br />
raids, four women whose lives have been turned upside down by<br />
the Troubles, carry on with everyday life. But what starts out as a<br />
riotous night out, leads to the spilling of some very sobering truths<br />
in the early hours.<br />
Packed with abrasive humour, Bold Girls is a story of love,<br />
friendship and betrayal.<br />
Rona Munro, whose trilogy The James Plays – written for the<br />
National <strong>Theatre</strong> of Scotland – was a recent international hit, burst<br />
onto the scene in 1991 with this celebration of women’s lives in<br />
West Belfast.<br />

DRAMATURG Frances Poet<br />
“O full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife”<br />
At the heart of Shakespeare’s darkest play is a disintegrating<br />
marriage. This new adaptation, using a radically cut-down version<br />
of the text, focuses on the relationship between one of the most<br />
famous killers in literature and his ambitious wife, performed by<br />
Charlene Boyd and Keith Fleming.<br />
Returning from battle, Macbeth hears a prophesy emboldening<br />
him to murder and betray. Compelled by his equally ruthless wife,<br />
Macbeth ignores his creeping sense of guilt and hopelessness and<br />
attempts to hasten the hand of fate, unwittingly ushering in the<br />
downfall of them both.<br />
This production has been specially created to be performed in<br />
the intense atmosphere of our Circle Studio and is directed by<br />

The Italian island of Lampedusa lies in the Mediterranean between<br />

Denise is forced to go door to door for a payday loan company to<br />
finance her degree, meeting grinding poverty and racial prejudices<br />
