CORPORATE PARTNERS:

WELCOME TO THE TRON’S SPRING SEASONI am delighted to announce a really strong Spring programme of theatre whichcombines a Tron Theatre Company production from the 1960s with a raft of brilliantnew plays from Scotland’s leading theatre companies.

The visiting season opens with the world premiere of Just Checking starringGlasgow’s very own Blythe Duff, a riotously funny new comedy about a veryorganised life descending into disorder. This is followed by another premiere,Smalltown set down the road in Ayrshire, written by the leading local writers DCJackson, Johnny McKnight and Douglas Maxwell and presented by RandomAccomplice who gave us the fabulous Promises Promises last year.

The season also includes a visit by Stellar Quines and the Royal Lyceum Theatre,Edinburgh with a brilliant new Canadian play, Age of Arousal. Other main househighlights include Birds of Paradise with a new adaptation of Brecht’s classicMother Courage by iconic Glasgow writer Tom Leonard and a mini festival ofmusic and cabaret from Limelight Studios.

Tron Theatre Company’s contribution to the season is a stripped down version of a1960s classic, Staircase by Charles Dyer. With wicked ‘Pinteresque’ humour, thisfascinating and taut piece of period drama gets its Scottish premiere forty-five yearsafter it played London’s West End.

For family audiences, award-winning children’s author Julia Donaldson presents herown show, Zog & the Gruffalo, and we also have The Giant Children’s Cabaretlivening up Valentine’s weekend.

In the Changing House, Raindog make a return to theatre with The Ushers, a brandnew comedy; Rekindle Theatre Company bring a large cast on stage to presentPeter Arnott’s The Breathing House; and Glasgow Actors Theatre Company presentLike This by Julie Tsang, a play influenced by Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago.We will also have new young company Tiny Door staging A Scheme, the return ofGlasgow collective Flatrate with The Belief Project, plus Wild Life by Pamela Carterinspired by the true story of Victor the Wolf-Boy of Aveyron found living in 19thcentury rural France. Add to that the wonderful Greg Burke play Gagarin Waypresented by Rapture Theatre, and What Happened Is This, a new play by NickUnderwood after his success here with One Night Stand ...and you have more thanenough to entertain you...

...and if this isn’t enough, there’s Celtic Connections, the Glasgow Comedy Festival,John Shuttleworth, and a packed cabaret season in the Vic Bar. In fact, you can spendthe next three months in the Tron without leaving the place. Given our coldwinters, that would be a wise move!

A TRON STRIPPED PRODUCTION

WED 23 FEBRUARY - SAT 5 MARCH 7.45PM £11 (£7)

BY CHARLES DYER DESIGNED BY KENNY MILLERWITH BENNY YOUNG + ANDY ARNOLD

Not everyone was swingin’ in sixties London...Charles and Harry have been a couple for twenty-odd years,running an East End barber shop where they both dream ofbetter days. Over the course of an evening their camp, bitchyand very funny banter becomes increasingly bitter and previouslyunknown truths emerge with news of the impending arrival ofCharles’ daughter from an early foray into wedded normality, acourt summons for ‘improper conduct’ and the subsequentprospect of life apart should a jail sentence be handed down.

Deep into the night, the barbed jibes and cruel put-downs driveeach of them into a despair that will ultimately unravel theircarefully constructed reality.

Archly funny yet also poignantly sad, Staircase, last staged inLondon forty-five years ago, is the blackest of comedies shotthrough with the wretchedness of lives blighted by social stigma.
