Running To Paradise in association with the Royal Exchange Theatre present THE CHING ROOM/THE MOIRA MONOLOGUES
THE CHING ROOM
Cast includes Colin Mcredie (TAGGART)
When you've got to go, you've got to go. But not if you're Rory, and there's a weird and dangerous stranger in the cubicle who seems to know too much about your secrets. What results is a battle of wills and wits, as Rory realises too late the peril he's in and, even worse, starts to like it. Can Rory escape before the stranger tempts him into crossing a line that will change his life forever?
'A script riddled with priceless back-alley gems' The Herald
The MOIRA MONOLOGUES
Performed by Alan Bissett
A series of stories from Falkirk's hardest woman, Moira Bell. Whether defending her 'snookelums pookelums' from the local rottweiler, attempting to seduce a teacher in the school where she works as a cleaner, or belting out Diana Ross for the Scotia karaoke night, Moira is hilarious and heartwarming company.
'Bissett writes with eagle-eyed vim - 'works in Somerfield, looks like a stoat' runs one pen portrait...His Moira lurches from a foul -mouthed Rottweiler who could give Malcolm Tucker a run for his money to maudlin softie...It's a -sometimes scary - pleasure to spend an evening in her company. * * * * ' The Independent
