Coming soon from Salamander Street: Headcase by Do Coming soon from Salamander Street: Headcase by Douglas Yannaghas.

Ian is 30, isolated and going nowhere in the remote village of Rosedale. Then he meets Cassandra—and discovers a mysterious stone head that speaks only to him.

What begins as a promise of purpose and belonging soon becomes something far more dangerous.

Darkly funny, unsettling and theatrically inventive, HEADCASE is a gripping solo play about loneliness, faith, masculinity and the seductive power of absolute certainty.

Published by Salamander Street in August.

Heading to Edinburgh Fringe — put hame. teeth. CLU Heading to Edinburgh Fringe — put hame. teeth. CLUB on your list.

Kari Hall’s fierce, funny and bruisingly honest new play follows Morgan Shields, a working-class young woman from Dalkeith whose weekends revolve around the club, the chaos, the carry-out — and trying not to feel too much.

A visceral solo show about girlhood, class, friendship, consent, survival and what happens when the party stops being funny.

I saw the phenomenal preview this month and Rhiannon Lucy Bird's performance is amazing - this is unmissable. 

Catch hame. teeth. CLUB at Iron Belly, Underbelly Cowgate, from 5–30 August.

Judas is going to the Fringe. A liar. A traitor. Judas is going to the Fringe.

A liar. A traitor. A thief. Or the most misunderstood man in history?

“People get ragin’ at you.” Martin O’Connor joins “People get ragin’ at you.”

Martin O’Connor joins poet and writer Len Pennie in The Scotsman to talk about Scots — the language, the assumptions people make about it, and what it means to write and perform in your own voice.

It’s a conversation that goes right to the heart of Martin’s acclaimed play Through the Shortbread Tin, which explores Scottish language, culture, myths and identity through the extraordinary story of James Macpherson and Ossian — and Martin’s own relationship with Scotland.

Following its acclaimed National Theatre of Scotland tour, Through the Shortbread Tin returns this summer, playing the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 6–31 August before touring to Glasgow Cathedral, Stirling Castle and Urquhart Castle.

The playscript is published by Salamander Street.

Coming soon from Salamander Street: THROUGH THE SH Coming soon from Salamander Street: THROUGH THE SHORTBREAD TIN by Martin O’Connor.

A witty, provocative and richly theatrical solo show exploring Scotland’s myths, contradictions and cultural identity through the stories of Ossian — and the many ways a nation packages itself for the world.

Blending poetry, performance and sharp political insight, Martin O’Connor’s play digs beneath the tartan, shortbread and tourist-board nostalgia to ask urgent questions about language, belonging, memory and who gets to tell Scotland’s story.

THROUGH THE SHORTBREAD TIN is produced by the National Theatre of Scotland.

It’s party time for WYLD WOMAN: The Legend of Shy It’s party time for WYLD WOMAN: The Legend of Shy Girl.

Isabel Renner’s five-star solo show is sharp, funny and brilliantly exposing — a 70-minute monologue goldmine about girlhood, self-image, shame, performance and the painful business of trying to be seen.

Perfect for performers looking for audition material, teachers seeking bold contemporary classwork, or anyone who loves a solo show with bite, humour and emotional punch.

Adventurer: Bernard Miles and the Mermaid Theatre Adventurer: Bernard Miles and the Mermaid Theatre tells the story of one of British theatre’s great originals.

Actor, writer, director, life peer and founder of the Mermaid Theatre, Bernard Miles was a force of nature: visionary, eccentric, determined and impossible to ignore. Alan Strachan’s richly entertaining biography follows Miles from his work on screen to his extraordinary mission to build a new theatre in post-Blitz London — bringing fresh plays to the public and breathing new life into the classics.

Full of backstage stories, larger-than-life characters and the sheer grit it takes to make theatre happen, Adventurer is a must-read for anyone fascinated by British theatre history, the Mermaid Theatre, and the people who changed the cultural landscape.

Available now from Wordville.
