Community touring programme returns this autumn and winter
Our community touring programme returns this year. Bringing musical, theatrical and interactive shows and events to venues across the city.
The line-up will light up community centres over the coming months. Helping spread festive cheer in the run-up to Christmas.
Rebuilding a Nation and Why d’ye talk lik’ ’at?
The programme opens with Martin O’Connor’s spoken word performance of Rebuilding a Nation and Why d’ye talk lik’ ’at? by The Village Storytelling Centre from Monday 22 September to Monday 29 September.
Rebuilding a Nation is a humorous and personal look at language and cultural identity. Steeped in the playwright’s own Glasgow Scots.
Why d’ye talk lik’ ’at? explores the ties between voice and class, and how where we are from shapes the way we speak.
