Concerned Others

Scotland has the highest rate of drug related death in Europe. One of the highest known rates in the world. In communities across the country, families, loved ones, friends, act as support for people with lived experience of substance dependency. A new intimate tabletop performance, from award-winning theatre company Tortoise in a Nutshell, presents the stories of critically underheard voices, accounts that paint us as a nation struggling to recognise a deadly culture of shame, ignorance and misunderstanding surrounding substance dependence and drug-related death. Intricate miniature worlds unfold in front of the audience’s eyes, creating detailed, confronting microcosms of contemporary Scotland, placed halfway between dream and cold reality. The piece is a collision of first-hand accounts, hopes and reflections on the weight carried by an entire community of care givers, healthcare professionals, policy makers and people living with addiction. 32mm figurines, shoe box style installations, turntables, micro-projection and immersive soundscapes combine to form a rich, multi-textural performance for audiences across theatres and community spaces. Craft, heart and quiet fury’ **** - The Stage An unmissable new piece in miniature…unique, handbuilt and profoundly experimental’ **** - The Guardian.

Join us for our latest immersive presentation – the supernatural comedy classic Ghostbusters featuring bespoke chocolate tasting-box pairing, with each chocolate hand-crafted by expert chocolatier Nadia to match the film’s most celebrated moments. One of the best-loved comedies of the 80s, Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as a ramshackle team of parapsychologists who respond to the wave of spectral attacks on New York citizens by setting up a ghost-catching business. “Forty years on, bustin' still makes us feel good. In fact, few movies have the power to make us feel good-er.” Time Out This cinema is headed for a night-out of biblical proportions! With a ‘Chocolate Tasting Experience’ ticket each guest will be provided with a selection of numbered chocolates* tailored to correspond with key scenes in the film… simply wait for the number cue to be signalled from the stage by Nadia of Thinking Chocolate (www.thinkingchocolate.com), then savour the paired taste experience. Select your film tickets online and then add the ‘Chocolate Tasting Experience’ to your basket before check-out. Please note: The delicious handmade chocolates are made to order. We have pre-ordered our boxes but can order more up to two weeks ahead of the screening.
