spring summer 2016
SPRING SUMMER 2016 Sponsored by TRON.CO.UK I’m delighted to announce one of the strongest spring and summer programmes that we’ve assembled in recent years. Tron Theatre Company will stage three productions, one of which will be a newly commissioned piece for Mayfesto (2-28 May, full details to be announced in March 2016), and we will play host to a range of exciting visiting companies, who for the most part will present new work. In the spring we will present Cock by Mike Bartlett, a brilliantly witty cliff-hanger about sexual identity, in its first UK production since the Royal Court premiere six years ago. For our Irishthemed Mayfesto, a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising, we have commissioned Peter Arnott to write a new play about the extraordinary and complex Irish martyr Roger Casement. For our summer production, we will be staging Martin McDonagh’s The Lonesome West, the third of his Leenane Trilogy, so expect brutality and absurd humour in abundance. Highlights of our visiting programme include collaborations with two of Scotland’s most innovative companies. Vanishing Point will present The Destroyed Room, inspired by Jeff Wall’s famous photograph and conceived by Matthew Lenton, and we will co-produce a new play with Fire Exit, International Waters by David Leddy. We welcome back Celtic Connections, Glasgow International Comedy Festival and Mark Thomas, alongside companies such as Lung Ha Theatre Company, Catherine Wheels, Tron Young Company and many, many more. We are also delighted to present a very strong programme under the banner of Tron Creative, with new writing, Tron Labs and the first opportunity to see previous Tron Lab works in preview.

Sat 13), 7.45pm £10-£16 Matinee Sat 13 Feb, 2.30pm £14 (£10) Wed 17 Feb Thu 18 Feb Main Auditorium By Mike Bartlett A SCOTTISH PREMIERE ‘Why are you telling me I have to know what I am? It doesn’t matter. I love him because he makes me toast in bed and he’s scared of cling film. I love her because she makes me feel as old as I really am. She’s gentle.’ After his long-term gay relationship breaks down, John unexpectedly meets a woman with whom he discovers new pleasures and excitement. With the ex-boyfriend preening and strutting in the background, and his new girlfriend uncovering a whole different side to his personality, John is increasingly wracked with guilt and indecision about who he is and what he wants. When a civilised dinner party to discuss the way forward rapidly descends into a messy cockfight, John has to make a choice. What will he do? ‘ With the precious exception of literati like Oscar Wilde and his beloved Bosie, quarrelling lovers are never as articulate and entertaining as they are in Cock.’ Variety Tron Theatre Company’s production of Mike Bartlett’s sharp and witty play will be the first UK staging since its Royal Court premiere six years ago. Directed by Andy Arnold 08 TRON.CO.UK Tron Theatre Company presents Previews Wed 6 & Thu 7 July, 7.45pm £8 Fri 8 - Sat 23 July, 7.45pm £10-£16 THE LONESOME WEST Matinee Sat 16 July, 2.30pm £14 (£10) Wed 20 July Thu 21 July Main Auditorium By Martin McDonagh Bickering brothers, Coleman and Valene share a house in the wild west of Ireland. One obsesses about his religious ornaments and his precious poteen, the other thinks only of his stomach, regularly crashing funerals in his quest for a free sausage roll. Their local priest, troubled by a spate of murders in the area, tries, and fails, to convince the squabbling pair to set aside their petty differences. But when the brothers vow to be nicer to one another and wipe the slate clean by confessing to a string of vile misdemeanours towards one another, things can only degenerate into vicious and bloody carnage. The Lonesome West is the third play in Martin McDonagh’s bleak but blackly comic Leenane trilogy. Written by Martin McDonagh Directed by Andy Arnold Photograph by John Minihan Copyright of University College Cork 10 ‘Me, probably straight to heaven I’ll go, even though I blew the head off poor dad. So long as I go confessing to it anyways. That’s the good thing about being Catholic. You can shoot your dad in the head and it doesn’t even matter at all.’ CELTIC CONNECTIONS 2016 SAM LEE & FRIENDS Fri 15 Jan, 8pm, £14 Sam Lee has been hailed as ‘Britain’s most inventive folk singer’ (Evening Standard), a status masterfully underscored by his recent second album, The Fade in Time. Tonight, Lee and his band, on violin, Mongolian dulcimer, ukulele, piano and percussion, are joined by Traveller and Gypsy tradition-bearers. CAM PENNER & JON WOOD WITH RAYNA GELLERT Sat 16 Jan, 8pm, £14 By turns elemental and spectral, Canadian Cam Penner’s gruff, gritty folk/blues songcraft will be atmospherically accompanied by Jon Wood’s wizardry on guitar, lap steel and sampler. Speaking of former member of acclaimed stringband Uncle Earl, Rayna Gellert, Béla Fleck said ‘I love Rayna’s musical personality which is deep, funky and complex.’ OYSTERS 3 & GRANNY GREEN Sun 17 Jan, 8pm, £15 John Jones, Alan Prosser and Ian Telfer, aka Oysters 3, are the founding trio and creative core of UK folk-rock legends Oysterband. They present a freshly intimate and acoustic take on that outfit’s 35-year back catalogue. Glasgow trio Granny Green’s arresting world/folk blend of accordion, trumpet and tuba won them a 2015 Open Stage Award. YORKSTON/THORNE/KHAN & LISA O’NEILL 101 SCOTTISH SONGS THE WEE RED BOOK It was pure serendipity that brought Scottish singer-songwriter James Yorkston and Indian sarangi player Suhail Yusuf Khan together. Now adding jazz bassist Jon Thorne into their mix of Khan’s qawwali singing and Yorkston’s little-known skills on the Swedish nyckelharpa, the trio launch their debut album. The late Glasgow schoolteacher and Labour MP Norman Buchan was a major driving-force within the early Scottish folk revival. Tonight’s performance, whose cast of top traditional singers includes Sheena Wellington and Margaret Bennett, celebrates Collins’ republication of the fondly-nicknamed ‘Wee Red Book’, an inspirational repertoire source both then and now, in honour of the TMSA’s 50th anniversary. Tue 19 Jan, 8pm, £14 Cavan-born Lisa O’Neill’s timelessly weathered voice and straight-talking songs have seen her hailed as a major star in the making. DRIFT Wed 20 Jan, 8pm, £14 Drift is a cross-artform production that evokes the extraordinary story of Shetland crofter Betty Mouat, who in 1886 spent eight days alone and adrift on the North Sea. Incorporating narrative and song from the inimitable Gerda Stevenson, Shetland-inspired music by Eddie McGuire, and video projections from those original performances. IN THE ROUND Thu 21 Jan, 8pm, £14 An intimate night of song-sharing from rising US stars. From Seattle, former The Courage frontman Noah Gundersen’s intensely brooding, gorgeously melodic songs wrestle movingly with the legacy of his conservative religious upbringing, while Kentucky coal-miner’s daughter Angaleena Presley skewers the heartaches and hypocrisies of hard-pressed ordinary Americans with trenchant lyrical flair. Fri 22 Jan, 8pm, £14 FROM THE CALTON TO CATALONIA Sat 23 Jan, 8pm, £14 Dramatising the involvement of working-class Glasgow families in the Spanish Civil War, From the Calton to Catalonia was written by Willy and John Maley in tribute to their father James, the conflict’s longest-surviving Scottish veteran. This newly revised version, directed as a rehearsed reading by Martin McCardie, incorporates songs of the period from Arthur Johnstone and guests. GAELIC MEETS GAELIC AMERICANA: GILLEBRIDE MACMILLAN & KYLE CAREY Sun 24 Jan, 8pm, £14 The North American journeyings of Scottish Gaelic culture come full circle tonight, in a concert akin to the Transatlantic Sessions in microcosm. From Scotland, it features the renowned South Uist singer Gillebrìde MacMillan and he’s joined by New Hampshire-based singersongwriter Kyle Carey. MAIRI CAMPBELL ‘PULSE’ Wed 27 & Thu 28 Jan, 8pm, £14 Drawing on her combined fluency in Celtic tradition, free improvisation and classical idioms, as well as her personal artistic journey, the awardwinning Scottish singer and fiddler/viola player Mairi Campbell performs a new one-woman show that blends live and recorded music with animation, dance, movement and storytelling. SECKOU KEITA & GWYNETH GLYN Fri 29 Jan, 8pm, £14 Widely regarded as his generation’s most gifted and inventive exponent of the kora, the ancient west African harp, Senegal’s Seckou Keita’s latest solo release, 22 Strings, reconnects Keita’s experimental virtuosity and global array of influences with seven centuries of ancestral tradition. LYNCHED & CLYPE Sat 30 Jan, 8pm, £14 Brilliantly revitalising the Irish ballad-group tradition for the 21st century, Dublin quartet Lynched match resonant fourpart harmonies with terrific instrumental work on uilleann pipes, concertina, Russian accordion, fiddle and guitar. Simon Gall and Jonny Hardie’s band Clype are firmly rooted in the North East of Scotland, but pull in influences from all over the world. celticconnections.com Preview: Tue 22 Mar, 7.45pm, £8 Wed 23 - Sat 26 Mar, 7.45pm Thu 24 Mar Image: Mihaela Bodlovic Post show Q&A Fri 25 Mar Main Auditorium £10-£16 Fire Exit in co-production with Tron Theatre presents INTERNATIONAL WATERS No refugee crisis ever looked so chic, darling. Vanishing Point presents THE DESTROYED ROOM A co-production with Battersea Arts Centre In association with Tron Theatre and Eden Court Preview: Thu 25 Feb, 7.45pm, £8 Fri 26 Feb - Sat 5 Mar, 7.45pm Post show discussion Wed 2 Mar Main Auditorium £10-£16 The Destroyed Room takes its inspiration from Jeff Wall’s famous photograph, which shows a ransacked room, where every item of furniture has been torn up and destroyed. What happened? The social fabric has finally torn. Airports are closed, roads are blocked. Now even the 1% need to seek asylum. Four obscenely rich members of the elite pay through the nose to join an exclusive party on the last ship leaving London. They stay alive using the only things they know – money, sex and madness. But the ship is sailing in the wrong direction. They don’t know each other. They don’t know the Captain. They don’t know what the hell is going on. International Waters comes from multi-awardwinning writer and director David Leddy, who has been called a ‘maverick’ (Guardian), a ‘genius’ (Scotsman), an ‘innovator’ (Times) and an ‘institution’ (Independent). Written and directed by David Leddy Supported by Creative Scotland It begins with what seems to be the recording of a TV show, as guests gather to digest world events. They sit among potted plants and standard lamps, discussing the things they have witnessed and debating the ethics of watching. Around them, cameras glide, filming their every word and every reaction, beaming them live onto a big screen. As the debate intensifies, slowly and as if in a dream, the atmosphere begins to change. The Destroyed Room is about the profusion of lenses, which bring the world right into our rooms but also keep it at a distance. It’s about what we see and what we turn away from. And what’s coming. Conceived and directed by Matthew Lenton Suitable for ages 16yrs+ 14 Pictured: Carmen Capaldi Photographer: Tommy Ga-Ken Wan Concept: David Leddy Designer: Becky Minto Lighting Designer: Nich Smith Image: Douglas Jones Lung Ha Theatre Company presents THE SILENT TREATMENT Preview: Fri 1 Apr, 7.45pm, £8 & 7.45pm Sat 2 Apr, 2.30pm Main Auditorium £10-£16 Ssssh! No, but seriously Sssssssh! A sponsored silence is on; so whatever you do you have to keep it zipped, keep it buttoned, keep it together - even when one of the group is doing all they can to break you down. And how can you, can anyone, stay silent when one of the team has just won wads of cash; and what about those builders who just keep popping in and out, surely something has to be said to them? Renowned playwright Douglas Maxwell, composer MJ McCarthy and the Lung Ha Theatre Company performers take you on a (quiet) journey where silence is golden but there are many ways to overcome silence when there is just so much to be said. Written by Douglas Maxwell Directed by Maria Oller Supported by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council 16 Image: Steve Ullathorne Lakin McCarthy presents MARK THOMAS: TRESPASS Wed 13 - Fri 15 Apr, 8pm Main Auditorium £10-£16 Trespass carries on from where Mark’s previous show 100 Acts of Minor Dissent left off. It is his usual odd mix of theatre, stand up, activism, a dash of journalism and a dollop of mayhem. Mark asks the questions: If the ramblers of the 1930s were here now what would they do to open up the cities? How do we turn the skyscrapers and corporate squares into our playgrounds? He sets out to try and carve a small space in the urban world where mischief and random chance can lurk. No one knows where this show is going to end up. Suitable for ages 16yrs+ Image: Mihaela Bodlovic Image: Iain Craig Traverse Theatre Company presents Puppet State Theatre Company presents JRR Tolkien’s Wed 27 & Thu 28 Apr, 7.45pm Main Auditorium £14 (£10) Fri 29 & Sat 30 Apr, 7.45pm Matinee: Sat 30 Apr, 2.30pm Main Auditorium £14 (£10) CRASH ‘Everything that happens is created by you.’ Confidence is everything in the world of high finance. Confidence in yourself, confidence in the market. Lose that and you lose everything. Crash is the story of an enigmatic trader attempting to rebuild his life following a tragic event. As he takes the first tentative steps back into the brutal landscape of trading stocks, he feels the pressure begin to build. In the continuing wake of the financial crisis, Scottish writer Andy Duffy creates a rare and poetic insight into the psychology of a banker’s world. Directed by Traverse Associate Artist Emma Callander, acclaimed for recent festival hits Cuckooed (Fringe First Award) and Theatre Uncut (Fringe First and Herald Angel Award). Written by Andy Duffy Directed by Emma Callander Performed by Jamie Michie The Traverse Theatre is supported by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council 18 LEAF BY NIGGLE Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make. He doesn’t want to go, but he cannot get out of it… In 1939 Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion. One morning he woke up with Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down. Surrounded by ladders, bicycles, easels and heirlooms, Richard Medrington (Jean from The Man Who Planted Trees) recounts Tolkien’s miniature masterpiece, with music specially composed by Karine Polwart. Suitable for ages 10yrs+ Written by JRR Tolkien Music by Karine Polwart With thanks to the Tolkien Trust Image: John Johnston Image: Ross McAuley Tron Young Company presents Amy Conway in association with Platform presents Thu 4 - Sat 6 Feb, 8pm Changing House £7.50 Wed 2 - Sat 5 Mar, 8pm Changing House £10 (£7.50) 30:60:80 SHEEP ‘Come on. Are we all pretending this isn’t happening? He was the last guy we know to die. That soldier that turned up is probably going to someone else’s funeral and someone else’s after that. He’ll be deployed to turn up and pay his respects: make the widow feel good and then they won’t blame the state or the military or whatever.’ Inspired by attitudes to war and militarisation, from historical perspectives to current media representation, Tron Young Company have created a blistering new original work that asks questions of accepted roles for women and men in conflict, modern society’s use of propaganda, and what happens when war arrives on your doorstep. Directed by Martin O’Connor Designed by Kirsty McCabe Supported by Youngstart delivered by The Big Lottery 30:60:80 is a celebration of three lives, spanning fifty years with the women of one family and inviting audiences to consider the richness in their own maternal herstory. When Amy’s grandma turned 30, she had three children and was thankful to finally live in a house with an indoor toilet. When Amy’s mum turned 30, she had a profession, a mortgage and was pregnant with her first child. Amy just turned 30. She’s single, chancing it, and certain about exactly nothing. 30:60:80 is an invitation to three landmark birthdays to meet three remarkable birthday girls. Devised and performed by Amy Conway Devised and directed by Victoria Beesley Supported by Creative Scotland Image: Jassy Earl Photography New Room Theatre presents Catherine Wheels in association with the Brunton Theatre presents WHITE Wed 24 & Thu 25 Feb, 10.30am & 1.15pm Changing House £7.50, Family of three £19.50, Family of 4 £26 A performance for 2-4 year olds. Welcome to the beautifully strange world of White. Full of birdsong and birdhouses, it gleams and dazzles and shines in the night. Two friends look after the birds and make sure the eggs stay safe. We watch, we help. The world is bright, ordered and white. But high up in the trees, all is not white. Colour appears. First red... then yellow... then blue... White is a playful, highly visual show for very young children and is a perfect first time theatre experience. Created by Andy Manley 20 BLACKOUT Wed 20 - Sat 23 Apr, 8pm Post show discussion Thu 21 Apr Changing House £10 (£7.50) Blackout is an honest, brutal and often hilarious insight into alcoholism and recovery, scripted entirely from interviews with recovering alcoholics, including the writer. Meet the woman who finds herself urinating off the top of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh. The man who nearly burns down a stranger’s kitchen. The mother who almost beats her son to death in a drunken rage. Blackout is the true story of real alcoholics, and the story of their recovery. Blackout is back in Scotland after a five star, sell-out London run. ‘Outstanding’ London Theatre Written by Mark Jeary Directed by Paul Brotherston Sponsored by Castle Craig Foundation Image: Tony Byrne Spilt Milk presents ADULTING Thu 16 - Sat 18 Jun, 8pm Changing House £10 (£7.50) Adulting (verb) To adult. To behave the way everyone would expect you to behave when you are an adult. ‘I don’t adult enough.’ ‘I’m sick of adulting all the time. I just want to child.’ Twenty-five. Quarter of a century years old. I am happily engaged, have a down payment on a two bed and a glamorous but reliable job. Aged 10, this is how I saw my future. In reality I live at home and have yet to find my soulmate. I attempt to bake. I often date. And I sometimes frequent DIY stores. All before another glass of wine. These are the little ways I try to feel like an adult. I know there are pros and cons to being this age, I just haven’t figured out the pros yet.

The gymnasium of the village school has become the shelter and sleeping quarters for the tired, stranded travellers. Between twilight and dawn, the headmaster, the ghost of a lorry driver, the woman with a missing husband and even Father Christmas himself, are forced to confront each other and themselves. As the magic hour of the dawn arrives, snow is still falling. The Circle of Fifths is a dreamy, discordant and haunting adaptation of the Polish novella by Szymon Bogacz. Directed by Matthew Lenton Based on the book by Szymon Bogacz Polish Text Adapted by Aleksandra Poplawska Literal English Translation by Agnieszka Lenton 24 Mike Bartlett’s (Doctor Foster, King Charles III, The Town, 13) rampaging panorama of the UK in the twenty first century has at its epicentre the unsettled lives of three sisters: one a politician, another heavily pregnant and the other a rebellious teenager. They share an absent scientist father who has predicted the environmental annihilation of humanity. All four struggle to find their truths against a shifting backdrop of strip joints, business meetings, rural Scotland, uncomfortable truths and swimming in Hampstead Heath. A chaotic odyssey of contemporary excess, where people and belief systems are in relentless movement and transformation. Written by Mike Bartlett Directed by Mark Thomson TRON CREATIVE It’s been brewing for a while, but here it is: a brand new way of talking about the Tron’s commitment to nurturing creative talent in Glasgow, Scotland and further afield.
