Resurrection
Starring David Hayman
Time: 7.30pm
Tickets: £13.50 / £12.00 (concession)
David returns to the Town Hall for
the 3rd time in 5 years to preview his
new solo show before embarking on
a major tour. Rutherglen Town Hall
is proud to host what we are sure
will be another sell-out performance
and ensuring that the best of theatre
continues to visit the area.
A funny thing happened on the way to
the pub… Bob Cunningham thought
he saw a man ascend into the sky.
It’s two years after the referendum,
and Bob Cunningham has stuff on
his mind: Whether or not to take
early retirement. To make matters
worse he discovers that Ethel, his ex,
who he hasn’t seen in 20 years, will
be coming later tonight. Politics, of
course, and what to do about the No
vote, Corbyn… And that weird thing
about rising into the heavens.
It puts him in storytelling mood.
Bob’s a raconteur. He tells 3 more
stories about ascensions, all the
while trying to decide what to do
about Ethel, and whether his life’s
work is done. Is he finished?
In his final speech – the story of an
entire country ripping itself from
the earth and rising up – he comes
to terms with his, and his country’s,
past, and future.
A solo play performed by David
Hayman, written by Chris Dolan,
directed by David Hayman Jnr.
Resurrection is a sequel to The
Pitiless Storm performed at the
Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh Fringe
2014, as part of a 45-date sell-out
Scottish tour.
