Did you know that the Traverse is involved in 

many exciting offstage activities? This season, 

we’d like to introduce you to… 

SPOTLIGHT: 

CLASS ACT 

MUMBAI 

Image by RAGE Theatre, Mumbai 

Introducing young people to the theatre and 

encouraging them to become theatremakers 

themselves lies at the heart of the Traverse’s 

Creative Learning activities. 

Our flagship education project, Class Act, 

has been turning secondary school pupils 

across Edinburgh into playwrights since 1991. 

Now successfully running in Russia and the 

Ukraine, in 2018 we’re thrilled to be introducing 

Class Act to India for the first time, opening 

the eyes and minds of even more young 

people to playwriting and creating theatre, as 

well as promoting cultural collaboration and 

advocating for access to the arts for all. 

Working with the Mumbai-based RAGE 

Theatre Productions, writers Nicola McCartney 

and Stef Smith, along with directors 

Gareth Nicholls and Emma Callander, will 

collaborate with Indian artists to develop the 

playwriting skills of students from the city. 

These students, from secondary schools 

across Mumbai, will come together to take 

part in playwright-led workshops and script 

development sessions to write their own 

scripts, which will then be performed on stage 

by professional actors before a live audience. 

We never fail to be excited and energised 

by what Class Act’s participants create – 

and we can’t wait to hear what those in 

Mumbai have to say. 

“Class Act is a project which, in my 

experience, changes lives for young 

people involved. Every time I do the 

project it changes mine. I am thrilled to 

be part of this team, and look forward to 

learning from theatre artists in Mumbai 

and most of all the young people we will 

work with together.” 

Nicola McCartney, playwright

WED 14 – SAT 17 FEB, 7.30PM; SAT 17 FEB, 2.30PM 

Image by Lesley Martin 

Director Joe Douglas 

Cast Mark Thomas, Faisal Abualheja, Alaa Shehada 

Dodging cultural and literal bullets, Israeli incursions 

and religion, Mark Thomas and his team set out to run a 

comedy club for two nights in the Palestinian city of Jenin. 

Only to find it’s not so simple to celebrate freedom of 

speech in a place with so little freedom. 

Jenin refugee camp, home to Jenin Freedom Theatre and to 

people with a wealth of stories to tell. Mark tells this story 

alongside two of its actors and aspiring comics, Faisal 

Abualheja and Alaa Shehada. A story about being yourself 

in a place that wants to put you in a box.

Performed by Janet Coulson 

Following the success of Iron and Outlying Islands, awardwinning 

Firebrand presents the Scottish premiere of an 

acclaimed new monologue by one of Ireland’s greatest 

dramatists. 

The ties that bind can never be broken and the shocking 

events that bring Sal to exile on a remote Irish island are as 

unexpected as they are brutal. Her compelling story begs only 

one question; what would you do if pushed to the very edge?

A sweet young terrorist must lose his virginity tonight. 

But will he get out of the brothel alive? 

There’s one bordello left in a brutal warzone and inside 

the atmosphere’s like an X-rated mad hatter’s tea party. 

The bastard child of Margaret Atwood and David Lynch, 

The Last Bordello is an absurd and fiendish labyrinth 

that’s more suspenseful and provocative with every 

wrong turn. From the creator of hit shows Long Live The 

Little Knife, International Waters and Sub Rosa.

Christmas Eve. Bettina and her husband Albert aren’t

Which is awkward. Not least because Bettina’s mother 

met a man on the train. And now she’s invited him 

around for drinks… 

Family, betrayal and the inescapable presence of the 

past reverberate through the UK premiere of Roland 

Schimmelpfennig’s razor-sharp comedy about the rise of 

the new right across the globe. 

Schimmelpfennig is the most performed playwright in

LOCKER ROOM TALK 

By Gary McNair

Director Orla O’Loughlin 

Following overwhelming response from previous runs at 

the Traverse Festival, Abbey Theatre, Latitude Festival and 

Scottish Parliament, Locker Room Talk returns to continue 

a conversation about misogyny and masculinity which 

has become even more urgent since its premiere. 

Created in response to the Donald Trump’s infamous 

“grab them by the pussy” comment, Locker Room Talk is a 

provocative exploration of how men speak about women 

in men-only spaces, asking if such sexually abusive 

rhetoric can really be accepted as mere ‘locker room talk’, 

or whether such attitudes are much more ingrained and 

drive abusive behaviour. 

Writer Gary McNair interviewed hundreds of men from 

a wide variety of backgrounds. A selection of these 

conversations are performed, verbatim, by a cast of 4 women. 

Each performance is followed by a post-show 

conversation, giving the audience opportunity to 

participate, ask questions, examine the issues raised and 

consider ‘where do we go from here?’.

THE DUKE

TUE 3 – THU 5 APR, 8PM 

Written and performed by Shôn Dale Jones 

From the multi award-winning writer and performer 

behind the much-loved Hugh Hughes, The Duke explores 

kindness, generosity and the value of what we do. The show 

has been produced in aid of Save The Children’s Child 

Refugee Crisis and has raised over £46,000 to date. 

Funny, poignant and playful, The Duke weaves together 

the tragi-comic fate of a family heirloom – a porcelain 

figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a 

scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding 

disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. 

Blending fantasy and reality, this playful show gently 

challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.

MCGONAGALL’S CHRONICLES 

By Gary McNair 

TUE 3 – SAT 7 APR, 1PM; FRI 6 APR, 7PM 

A biography of the late Dundonian poet 

Sir William Topaz McGonagall, written in 

‘almost rhyming verse’ - the only way to 

honour the man who has come to be known 

as the world’s worst poet. Performed by Gary 

McNair, the play charts the poet’s life story 

and gets to the heart of the dilemma that 

surrounds his legend - is it okay to laugh at 

someone’s obvious and relentless failings? 

EULOGY 

By Rob Drummond 


Six years ago Sandy ruined his daughter’s 

wedding day with a Top Table speech for 

the ages. Well, the joke’s on him, because 

now, he’s dead. You are cordially invited to 

Sandy’s memorial service, where his life 

will be eulogised. Be prepared to laugh, cry 

and sing your hearts out as we send Sandy 

off to the hereafter. Let’s hope everything 

goes smoothly this time round. 

RACHEL’S COUSINS 

By Ann Marie di Mambro 


Rachel is a successful woman and, frankly, 

a bit of a snob. She wants nothing to do 

with her mother’s side of the family, whom 

she thinks of as a reckless bunch of benefit 

cheats. But when Rachel discovers she is at 

risk of breast cancer, she feels duty bound 

to let her cousins know. She didn’t mean to 

let them into her life but they come barging 

in anyway, and shake up her tidy life. 

MARGARET SAVES SCOTLAND 

By Val McDermid 


Margaret Holt embarked on a holiday 

romance with a difference and it

Scotland filled her with a burning desire 

to liberate the country from the English 

yoke. But what could a nine-year-old lass 

from Yorkshire do to make that dream 

come true? Join Margaret as she embarks 

on the journey of a lifetime.

Director Zinnie Harris 

I know my boy. I’d know if something had happened to him. 

Maddy and Rory are devoted parents to 3-year-old 

Joshua, committed to keeping him happy and safe. But 

when an everyday visit to a supermarket café turns into 

a far more troubling incident, their trust even in those 

closest to them is shattered. Fear and doubt consume 

them, until they reach a savage breaking point. 

Gut is a taut psychological thriller that explores who 

we can trust with our children. And whether it’s more 

dangerous not to trust at all. 

Written by Fringe First award-winning playwright 

Frances Poet (Adam), Gut was shortlisted for the 

Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and is directed by 

award-winning Traverse Associate Director Zinnie Harris.

A multimedia performance that explores the theme of 

borders in the separated island of Cyprus. 

Based on interviews conducted with members of the Greek 

and Turkish communities, the performance stages stories 

of mutual aid, solidarity and friendship which consolidate

Cast Young performers aged 14-18 

An anonymous hack – an act of sabotage or revenge – kicks 

off a chain of events that changes the whole of society. 

Suddenly a group of young people must learn how 

to survive in a world where the private has become 

public, everyone’s data is out there for all to see, and a 

person’s every action can apparently be predicted. As 

the temptation grows to spy on their peers, they must 

confront the question: do we ever really know each other?

their playwriting skills. The course will
