A darkly hilarious exploration of the pursuit of Scottishness and happiness in the 21st century, from acclaimed young Glasgow theatre company Fish & Game.
A tongue-in-cheek re-interpretation of that seminal Scottish novel Sunset Song, Otter Pie teases out some of the thornier questions of culture, heritage and confidence lurking in the nation’s psyche.
At the forefront of a new generation of performance makers, Fish & Game are challenging and ambitious in their approach but equally unafraid to make work that is accessible, mischievously funny and downright entertaining. They’ve performed as far afield as London, New York and Melbourne and now bring their sell-out show back to Tramway following a national tour. Don’t miss out on your last chance to try a slice of the Pie.
‘Terrific theatricality and flair … This bunch of young Glasgow iconoclasts may have given the theatrical debate about Scottish identity the kickstart it needs’
Joyce MacMillan, The Scotsman
‘Hilariously funny and pungently perceptive. National identity, heritage and culture are hung out to dry and scrutinised for holes in the fabric of nostalgic mythology. What’s really impressive is how a cunningly cooked-up joke can contain so many chewy questions about changes in a society and its values.’
Mary Brennan, The Herald
