| Parts: | Male | - | Female | 1 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | part of Spend A Penny, a series of short plays based on an idea by Andy Arnold | |||||
Synopsis: | Imagine that there are two half-hour shows, one played out in the Ladies toilet, the other in the Gents. Imagine that each show consists of four five-minute monologues, written and performed by some of the finest theatre artists in Scotland. And then imagine that you experience each of these snippets alone, face to face with a single actor, either in a toilet cubicle, or somewhere around the wash-basins. This is the Arches 15th anniversary show Spend A Penny; and it makes an extraordinary, intense and challenging 21st-century theatre experience, sometimes as rich and intimate as a private moment with a sister or best friend, sometimes as grotesque and vivid as a trip to the underworld, in a painting by Brueghel or Bosch. | |||||

Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | part of Fifteen Years, Two Fingers, Arches Live! | |||||
Synopsis: | Writer Megan Barker drew inspiration from the true story of Jerry Bivins (executed in 2001) and his mother, but the evocation of an underclass, mired in a no-hope swamp of illiteracy and desperate criminality, owes its poetic imagery and dark, twisting comedy to Barker's own insights and talents. | |||||

| ||||||
Genre: | One Act | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 1 | Female | 1 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Barker's Tongue Lie Tight is an ennui-laden look at the communica-tion breakdown between a couple seeking sanctuary in a sun-drenched resort from some un-named horrors at home. As Morag goes quietly demented in her hotel room, Seymour builds sandcastles with Gracie, a young girl with whom he finds an uncomfortable-looking connection. Loosely based on JD Salinger's 1948 short story A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Barker's spare demotic leaves everything tantalisingly implied in a close-up of everyday madness which contrasts with its setting's brightness. | |||||
