What's on in West Mains

City of Edinburgh, Scotland

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

West Mains sits quietly in the shadow of the city but punches well above its weight for local life. The area has been a quiet spot for years, and we find plenty of reason to linger without needing to travel far. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting nearby. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.

Triple Bill: Live Theatre Performance | FREE

Be among the first to enjoy some of the best new writing coming from Scotland’s playwrights. Become part of the writer’s process as they develop their early-stage plays, brought to life through rehearsed readings performed script-in-hand by professional actors. Play #1: Bet On It It’s Brandon’s first day at the bookies and Michelle is left to train him despite knowing it’s only a matter of time before the shop’s closed down.  Bet On It’ explores the disappearance of community spaces and the unexpected emotional role of betting shops as places of connection and belonging. Through humour and memory, the play explores nostalgia and what we lose when physical spaces vanish. Playwright: Dylan Mooney Dylan is a playwright and theatre maker based in West Lothian. A recent graduate of Performing Arts Studio Scotland and currently being mentored by Playwright Studio Scotland. Dylan likes to explore human connection and what it means to exist in the world. He is particularly interested in socially and politically engaged work and often brings his experience as a working-class artist to the forefront of what he creates. Play #2: It’s Legal Tender* Graham and Paula plan to perform a heist on their local London pub, but this not your usual stick-up job.

This fast-moving, ensemble-driven musical features a richly textured score combining folk, rock and traditional musical theatre styles, and asks a cast of performers to play multiple characters as the story unfolds. Funny, moving and deeply uplifting, Come From Away celebrates humanity at its best. Biggar Theatre Workshop is delighted to bring this powerful and inspiring show to Biggar, continuing our tradition of producing high-quality, ambitious musical theatre for our community.
