Synopsis: No one's day is going to plan. Petal, Missy and Hen are on their way to the island of Iona, looking for a miracle. When their train is halted by floods, they are forced to stay at a B & B by Loch Lomond and contemplate different endings to their adventure. Jim, Guy and Sonny are also at the B & B. Guy is determined to make his own adventure, but Jim and Sonny's experiences make them equally determined to shelter him and stop history repeating. Surrounded by rain, rivers, lochs and floods, three generations of memory and experience ebb and flow through Linda McLean's lyrical new play. Shimmer shows how strange weather and circumstances allow glimpses of others they have loved and lost, and offers them all the tantalising opportunity to dream it better | ||||

Synopsis: One woman, five men. When Dan married his wife he knew he wasn't settling for a simple life and, even now, he keeps a wary eye on her. Duncan has never been one for easy pleasantries or loose morality. He's dying and it's really testing his patience. His day is made worse by the arrival of his daughter looking for forgiveness. Roy's first foray onto the internet struck pay dirt and tonight he finds himself face to face with a woman who shares his taste in pain. If Denis didn't ever have to meet his sister again it would be too soon but something in her phone call gave him no option. Abel is young and idealistic so it's no surprise that he's become a Child Protection Officer. One mother's reluctance to give him access to her son sets off Abel's alarm bell. May is the woman in their lives. She ties these men together but she's coming undone as a moment in her life is haunting them all. Sometimes chilling, frequently hilarious, strangers, babies is the story of one woman's desperate attempts at a future. | ||||
