When oil giants Shell announce plans to dump the defunct Brent Spar oil store in the ocean, a small group of activists have other ideas. Under the cover of night, they sail out to the North Sea and occupy the structure. As their campaign gains momentum, pressure mounts on those in power and political battles ensue at sea and on land. Will the activists succeed? Will it all be worth it? Or will big oil win out? Images - Mihaela Bodlovic |

KT Producing
www.ktproducing.co.uk Director Liam Hurley Co-Music Directors Jo Mango & Louis Abbott Movement Director Janice Parker Designer Claire Halleran Lighting Design Andrew Gannon Sound Designer Garry Boyle Unflinching, spellbinding gig-theatre performed by Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow), Jo Mango, Goodnight Louisa, Raveloe & Solareye. Every year in Scotland thousands of people return home from prison to an uncertain future. A Giant on the Bridge reveals the intimate human experiences within this prison-homecoming journey, in a compelling narrative-gig which fuses acoustic songwriting, Scottish hip hop & original storytelling. Five of Scotland’s leading musicians explore identity, family, community, restoration, injustice - and the pulsing heartbeat within these hidden stories. Devised by musician Jo Mango and award-winning theatre-maker Liam Hurley with research by Phil Crockett Thomas. Originally developed through work with the Distant Voices Community.

Grid Iron
www.gridiron.org.uk
Written by Martin McCormick
Director - Ben Harrison
Music and Live Foley - David A. Pollock
Design - Claire Halleran
Lighting Design - Andrew Gannon
Video Design - Lewis den Hertog
In 2006 Martin McCormick flew across the Atlantic to be reunited with a woman he had fallen passionately in love with, a California Girl. But she’s changed. Completely. She’s in Indiana now, not California. With her step-mum who hates the British. Almost as soon as he’s arrived he’s on the road again, penniless and desperate to get home to Scotland.
Performed by Martin himself with Jess Chanliau (who plays some twenty-five parts) and live foley by David Pollock, South Bend is a tale of hope, of love, of a small country and a vast one, of a good Samaritan and a relationship gone bad.

Tetra Decathlon

Showroom
www.weareshowroom.co.uk
Directed by Jenna Watt
Designer - Claire Halleran
Composer – Scott Twynholm
Movement Director – Ema Jayne Park
Produced by Callum Smith for Showroom
The Tetra-Decathlon is a gruelling 14-event track and field competition, requiring a unique combination of skills to complete. Having never set foot on a running track in her life, Lauren Hendry decided to sign up for the event, joining only a dozen other women in the World Championships.
This amusingly audacious solo show charts Lauren’s journey as she trains for and competes in this most taxing of sporting events, whilst asking pertinent questions about the psychology of sport and what drives us to compete. Tetra-Decathlon is a celebration of coming last, and then coming back for more…
