Original Playwright - David Lescot. Part of "Tilt"

Broke, by French writer David Lescot, seen here in an English language version by lain F MacLeod, is a less-is-more tale of a bankrupt man, his wife and his asset-stripping guardian angel liquidator. With the enforced loss of all material possessions - including the rare jazz record collection - a man has a slow-burning Zen epiphany, gradually learning that small is beautiful and less is more profitable for the soul.

a tough and funny play about Glaswegian orphans forcibly transplanted to the Islands. 1967. Alex and Mary are 'homers', sent from care homes in Glasgow to live with a new family in the Islands. They are thrown into the kaleidoscope of island life: the teacher who barks in a strange language; the Minister and his penchant for Elvis; Andrena with her fetish for Hebridean delicacies. Alex pushes his new dad too far and is sent back to Glasgow into the care of Mr Pig, a sadistic butcher. But Mary, back on the island, has troubles of her own. So Alex finds himself on the ferry again, slicing through the black mirror of the sea. . .

Summer 1948 in the North West Highlands. Post-war austerity grips the land, but here the pickings are rich for Traveller people, as they trade, poach, rustle - and fish for pearls in the clear water of the rivers. Relations with the local people hang on a fragile thread, as they barter with one another, juggling language and meaning - and sometimes desire, from a distance. And then one day Jess, a girl from the village, spies Ali the Traveller close up, trawling the river-bed. Jess takes his pearls and her lover Roderick pledges to make a necklace for her - setting in motion a chain of events which will change both communities for ever. Half a century later, in the Autumn of 2007, the waters have risen, and the story is still being told and re-enacted. The Pearlfisher is an epic tale of kinship, money and desire

'The Birdmen' of St Kilda: Scaling the sheer cliffs of their rocky home 'the Birdmen' of St Kilda harvested a living from seabirds and their eggs for more than 3,000 years. The decline and depopulation of their society was a slow process, accelerated by contagions from the mainland. By the time the British government evacuated the island in 1930 there were hardly thirty people left - clinging to their unique way of life and furious landscape and roped to their customs and language. Living on the edge: St Kilda is the most westerly of Scottish islands and the last landfall before America. It is the UK's only dual World Heritage Site - for both natural and cultural heritage - and the cliffs rise taller than the Empire State Building. Traditional Gaelic song and contemporary music are performed against a backdrop of vintage and modern film as a cast of actors, singers and acrobats tell the story of the 'Birdmen' of St Kilda. Memerising Multi-media: Two large screens frame the stage and show archive film from 1908 to1930. Interwoven with these highly emotional images is spectacular contemporary film of the place, its story and dramatic aerial cliff-dancers.
