Dark Debut for Play Pieces this Saturday

3 Jun 2011 in Artforms, Dance & Drama

A new event starts in Inverness tomorrow lunchtime (Saturday 4 June 2011).  A season of short plays, each no more than 1 hour long, is coming to the Ironworks and running until November. Starting at 1.30pm, Play Pieces gives day visitors to Inverness to chance to see some drama and have some lunch all for only £10.

Play Pieces is showing one play a month starting on Saturday 4 June with a dark, devised piece by Jesse Paul of ‘Elastic Concoctions’.

Handprints in the Snow  is a stark story of Sadie, a mysterious woman who collects gloves which unravel to reveal a truly unsettling tale. Jesse has been working with John Batty of Eden Court Theatre to develop this original work.

Play Pieces features material entirely by Highland Theatre companies with work coming from Caithness, Skye and Moray as well as central Inverness. It’s a great chance for people in the Highlands to get a taste of the fantastic drama being produced across the region.

In addition to this, the ticket price includes a hot lunch provided by local butchers MacDougall & Hastie as well as a vegetarian option provided by local Social Enterprise Café Artysans.

The next performance of Play Pieces is on Saturday 2 July, featuring a lively, adult comedy by Skinnydip Theatre called ‘Working Holiday’.
