OPENING NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
By Joshua Dickinson
29th - 31st October 2009
Lydia's role in Romeo and Juliet is the perfect chance to convince an agent she's worth putting on his books. If only her co-star, Laurence, would stick to the script. Meanwhile Joe is admiring Lydia from the tech box; but the two could never be star cross'd lovers. If only Joe had a good opportunity to talk to her...like a zombie invasion!

The cast of Montagues and Capulets might be eating each other's brains but can something as silly as a rising of the undead get in the way of true love? After all the show must go on...

ACTOR! 
by Frederick Stroppel, presented by Pitty Productions

 From the instant he drops from his mother's womb to the moment he is summoned up to the pearly gates, is an actor pre-programmed to always search for his spotlight? 

Taking a hilarious look at the life of an actor in today’s heavily fame driven society, "Actor!" follows the rise to stardom, and subsequent fall, of the main character, and the many encounters that define his life.

GAGARIN WAY
by Gregory Burke, presented by Incompetent Productions and part of St Andrews Festival 2009
27th - 29th November

 How Many Fifers Does It Take To Pull Off A Kidnapping?
Dunfermline-born playwright Gregory Burke's debut is a slick, thrilling and darkly hilarious tour of the Socialist Underground. Two factory workers plan a very human heist, but when it backfires they learn the delusion of ideology in the Twentieth Century, and its cruelest and most human consequences. A play that fuses high ideas and base humanity with a uniquely Scottish twist.

A serial killer is murdering children in a way that mimics the dark stories of a local writer. Brutal black comedy form celebrated writer Martin McDonagh
