Scottish musical Glasgow Girls returns to its home town as part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme.
Inspired by the true story of a political campaign run by a group of teenagers, the show was conceived and directed by Cora Bissett (whose previous credits include Roadkill) and premièred at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow in 2012.
The book is by David Greig (book writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and other contributors include Patricia Panther, Sumati Bhardwaj (MC Soom T), and the Kielty Brothers.
Cora Bissett says “I am delighted that Glasgow Girls is coming back to the Citizens Theatre and the city it originated from, especially during such an important year, when Glasgow is hosting the Commonwealth Games.
"It feels incredibly fitting and timely to remount this show which celebrates the diversity of people, and the brave and passionate community spirit which characterises Glasgow in the 21st century, during a year which seeks to showcase and celebrate the culture of Scotland.”
Glasgow Girls is presented by the National Theatre of Scotland, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Citizens Theatre, Richard Jordan Productions Ltd and Pachamama Productions, in association with Merrigong Theatre Company (Australia). It runs from 20 February to 8 March at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow.
A post-show discussion and audio described, captioned and BSL performances are programmed. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
