Six sisters,their maw and granny gather to kill by witchcraft the mistress of CarolineCs wayward husband. Six black candles, one black affronted maw, two gallons of vodka, one crazy old Irish granny, a pile of burning boxer shorts, barrels of bickering, a hit-man, a pentangle and a frozen head in the fridge, plus one adulterous husband and one unsuspecting Catholic priest. In a nutshell - these are the ingredients for Six Black Candles.

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.

Although poor he is very happy, except when he is trying to avoid the romantic advances of his neighbour, Fatima Kebab.

The happiness does not last, however, as evil appears in the form of El Scorpio, a mysterious character, and his band of thieves who are after all the riches in the land.

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.

Set in a Scotland "lost in the mists of time", this new version of the familiar story uses elements of ancient Celtic folklore and the supernatural as its main themes. Calluna, Queen of the Faeries, finds a way to rid the land forever from the evil influences of Queen Thron and her Hobgoblins. Her son, prince Alban, must marry a Mortal Bride! The wisest of the Faerie Godmothers, Dalriada, sets out from the Faerie Glen to find a suitable candidate, eventually choosing Cinderella, the kind-hearted daughter of the daft Laird of Clartystanes Castle. Queen Thron, learning of this, worms her way into the Laird's affections and marries him. Unwittingly getting caught up in her evil machinations are her silly and somewhat "photogenically challenged" daughters. When Calluna announces "The Great Gathering", where Alban will choose his bride, Thron does everything in her power to ensure her daughters are well to the fore!

Narrated and told in "flashback" by Buttons, "The Legend of Cinderella" is an affectionate variation on the classic Panto tale beloved of generations of theatregoers

David Drummond comes midnight courting his true love, Jean; at the house of her swindling uncle, Samuel Pitcairn. With the aid of his manservant Willie, a ladder, a convenient window and a scheming maid, the lovers' plans to elope to a new life away from a post rebellious Scotland to Nova Scotia are temporarily thwarted by Pitcairn's blunderbuss. But the intervention of a heavily disguised Italian portrait painter changes their fortunes.

Oo la la! A farce francais to make any Frenchman twiddle his moustache! The women of Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society bring a little 'je ne sais quoi' to a door-slamming farce full of surprises!
