There's a war on and for Glasgow, like the rest of Britain, that means air raids, black-outs, food rationing, barrage balloons and the pain of parting as husbands and fathers go off to fight.
For the McSorleys and their neighbours in the East End tenements its a case of making the best of what life has to offer.
This is their laugh-a-line story capturing all the wit and spirit of city life during the dark days of the forties when the grit and humour of Glaswegians overcame all adversities. James Barclay has created a marvellous range of characters which evoke a wonderful nostalgic picture of the Glasgow we used to know.

The story centres on Ali Baba a poor barber living with his son, Rhum.

But will everything go to their evil plan? This pantomime had lots to offer with laughs, goodies to cheer and as ever, baddies to boo.

Too Much Punch for Judy tells the true story of an incident which happened on May 20th 1983.
Using only the words of those involved or closely affected, the play explores the problems surrounding the death of Joanna when her sister was at the wheel in a drink-drive incident. The play looks at the sisters relationship with each other and their mother. It then concentrates on the actual crash and immediate aftermath, mainly through the eyes of one the first witnesses at the scene. PC Chris Caten, in real life a good friend of the family, then has to break news of Joanna's death to her mother and Judy in turn, before the mother and daughter are left to deal with their loss.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is set in the day room of a state mental hospital. It deals with the change in status quo when an inmate of the local prison feigns insanity to escape the work farm. Randle P McMurphy's arrival on the ward has a dramatic effect on his fellow inmates and life on the ward will never be the same again.
David Cheape chose the above play, based on the best selling novel by Ken Kesey and perhaps best remembered as an iconic film of the 1970’s starring Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd and Louise Fletcher, as his 3rd production for CTC .
The original play premiered on Broadway in 1963 starring Gene Wilder and Kirk Douglas. It was revised from three to two acts in 1971 and ran for 1,025 performances, helping launch Danny DeVito into the public eye. In 2004 the play took the Edinburgh Festival and then the West End by storm starring Christian Slater, Mackenzie Crook and Frances Barber.
