Pop-Up Theatre Tour, a double-bill in association with Oran Mor a Play, a Pie and a Pint

Waterproof by Andy Duffy

On the bank of a river somewhere in the Highlands, friends Alex and Gordon are trying to enjoy a weekend fishing trip. Alex is mouthy, talkative and thrilled with himself, a student whose mobile phone, so he says, contains the number of every good-looking woman in Dundee; so when Gordon throws Alex’s mobile phone into the river, things seem about to get nasty.

From Paisley to Paolo by Martin McCardie

Jack was born on the same day, in the same hospital as Paolo Nutini and he is a huge fan. When reality and fantasy combine to become the truth for him, he has to choose between the life he wishes he had, and the one he really has. He goes to a music festival in a stolen hearse to see Paolo with his two best friends, and nothing will ever be the same for them again.

Both plays were first shown at Oran Mor in Glasgow’s West End. We are delighted to work with the original producers in bringing these very funny plays to a wider audience throughout the country. Oran Mor’s ground-breaking lunchtime theatre programme a Play, a Pie and a Pint began in 2004 and now commissions 37 new plays a year. It produces the work of some of the UK’s most well-known writers as well as profiling the work of new and exciting theatrical voices. This is the first time Mull Theatre has worked in association with Oran Mor and we hope this will be just the start of a long association.

What is “Pop-up Theatre”

If the venue doesn’t usually have comfortable raked seating, it will have with the Mull Theatre Pop-Up Theatre tour where we bring the show, the set – and the seating too! Everyone can enjoy the full theatre experience with perfect views from anywhere in the audience.
