Bullet Catch

Synopsis:
a stunt so dangerous Houdini refused to attempt it, the Bullet Catch has claimed the lives of at least twelve illusionists, assistants and spectators since its conception in 1613. Now, with a little help from his audience, modern day marvel William Wonder presents a unique theatrical magic show featuring storytelling, mind reading, levitation, games of chance and, if you're brave enough to stay for it, the most notorious finale in show business.

Gyntish Self, The

Synopsis:
a fantastically imaginative retelling of Ibsen's Peer Gynt by a team of up-and-coming Scottish playwrights. Peer's going to have to face up to himself. He's a selfish, cheating loser and no amount of lying will change that. "Timed to coincide with this year's centenary of Ibsen's death, the baby-faced Measureless Liars company have set themselves the ultimate challenge of updating the Norwegian's most audacious epic to a bite-sized 55 minutes. What they've come up with in this soap-opera-style treatment remains pretty faithful, as crotch-led tearaway Peer does a runner as an errant father to enter a class-bound world of golf playing, Chris de Burgh-loving toffs." - The Herald; "a fun mix of surrealism and naturalism, this play deals with themes of deceit and death, as we follow Peer Gynt around his world of polygamy and bad deeds. . .the piece provokes interesting reactions, causing us to sympathise with the evil protagonist as we start to see elements of him in our daily subconscious and dream lives." - Three Weeks; "a fast-paced piece with a large dose of humour" ScottishTheatre.co.uk
