Short Attention Span Theatre


Short Attention Span Theatre presents…

WEDNESDAY 1ST APRIL, 19:30
Six brand-new short plays in one evening - sharp, funny, and full of surprises.
"Generous, confident and quietly exhilarating" - The Ayrshire Daily News

The Plays:
Who Killed Owen Taylor — by Tom Brogan, dir. Lisa McDonald
Hollywood, 1944. Sci-fi writer Leigh Brackett teams up with William Faulkner to adapt Chandler's The Big Sleep — proving the best mysteries need no solution.

Taking the Empire — by Leanne Cameron, dir. Tom Brogan
A hapless robbery turns unexpected therapy session. Sharp comedy about desperate moments and surprising kindness.

The Daniels House of Horror — by Tom Murray, dir. Shamama Fatima
A dream home with something ancient in the garden. Darkly comic horror with a sardonic narrator and genuine scares.

Matthew's Ghost — by Samantha Dooey-Miles, dir. Lisa McDonald
Evelyn visits a medium to contact her ex. A wickedly funny modern heartbreak.

Dance to This — by Simon Lamb, dir. Tom Brogan
A warm, vulnerable monologue about a first gig in the big city and finally dancing after standing still too long.

You in a Box — by Emma Findlay, dir. Lisa McDonald
A couple packing for their first home discovers that the hardest thing to pack is trust itself.

Cast: Sarah Pieraccini, Emma Findlay, Trystan Youngjohn, James Keenan, Frazer Kirkland & Simon Lamb
