Shortlisted for Scots Stage Production o the Year at the 2026 Scots Language Awards

Morgan Shields lives for Saturday nights at Widburn Club.

Fuelled by Dragon Soop, bravado and recklessness, she is thrilled to be going nowhere fast: work, pres, club, repeat. But after experiencing a sexual assault, Morgan is forced to confront the chaos she has been laughing off: fractured friendships, the limits of loyalty and the emptiness that remains when you are believed, but still left standing alone.

Visceral, darkly funny and painfully alive, hame. teeth. CLUB. places a working-class Scottish young woman at the centre of her own story: messy, contradictory, defiant and impossible to ignore.

Written with an electric Scottish voice and a sharp ear for the rituals of small-town nights out, hame. teeth. CLUB. is a fierce solo play about consent, accountability, friendship, class, community responsibility and the fragile work of surviving what comes after.

hame. teeth. CLUB. is particularly suited to:

• Performers looking for a bold, emotionally demanding solo show
• Theatre companies seeking urgent contemporary new writing for a small cast
