WORK AND OTHER DEAR GREEN FABLES
By Brian Miller
Cumbernauld Theatre Company
Fri 29 June @ 7.45pm
Tickets £8/£5
Welcome to the 2007 Saint Mungo Grieve Memorial Lecture to hear Hugh Clyde (Glasgow Man) on his favourite theme 'work' - a subject studied by many, performed by few. Sharing sliders with Jimmy Maxton and rubbing revolting shoulders with Jimmy Reid - Hugh's list of jobs has been endless. Now the act of work is extinct, Hugh's the ideal choice of speaker, escorting us through a menagerie of Glasgow Folk Heroes, including Agnes Dawson (champion riveter and spitter), Kurt McKenzie (Adolf's second-in-command) and not forgetting Uncle Frank - a Condorrat barricade-maker during the great strike.
We're delighted to re-unite local artist/writer Brian Miller and actor Ron Paterson, for this rollicking one-man show, first performed at the Theatre in June 1977.
Come and meet the author and director of the show in the Festival Bar afterwards for a chat, and get 50p off a drink. See our bar page for more information.
