Tron Theatre Ltd.

I always feel that the Tron distinguishes itself from every other theatre simply by the diverse range of shows it presents. We are ever-mindful of the very eclectic tastes amongst the Glasgow theatre-goers and try to respond accordingly. The summer programme certainly exemplifies that diversity.

On the one hand, we have a cutting edge and very provocative series of new work and debate in our Mayfesto programme, as well as plays by the heavyweight of contemporary English dramatists Howard Barker. At the other end of the spectrum we present Hardeep Singh Kohli's Indian Takeaway, together with on a slightly more bizarre culinary note, Tron Theatre Company's own summer delight Cannibal Woman of Mars, which is a mad intergalactic rock 'n' roll romp with great songs by Belle and Sebastian's Mick Cooke (no pun intended!).

Other visiting theatre company highlights include Some Other Mother, which will be staged during a very busy Refugee Week Scotland; and the return of the celebrated Irish company Blue Raincoat with the final (and best) part of their Flann O'Brien trilogy, The Poor Mouth.

In terms of work by and for young people, Tron Skillshops re-stage one of their favourite pieces from the past ten years, Multiplex; we once again play host to the Merchant City Festival with a programme of work for family audiences (as well as a series of indoor performances as part of Surge); and Scottish Youth Theatre round off the season with their production of a modern Scottish classic, Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off.

Plenty to choose from...I hope to see you down here.
