New Strides Productions

Purge was played to great success at the Arches Theatre in Glasgow at the end of April as part of the Unison Conference. The cast was slightly altered due to actors commitments elsewhere – Tiran, Neil and Ruth remained in role and were joined by Nicki V, Wendy and the latest addition to our ever expanding New Strides family, Michael Hugo. All credit to these three actors who had only a week to get to grips with the script.We had good audiences for each performance and it was a pleasure to play in such a nice venue. Thanks to Unison for support and also for allowing us to invade their union social. Much wine was drunk and much bad karaoke sung to startled delegates, including the girls singing ‘Its Raining Men’ (against their will) and a very cute version of ‘I got you Babe’ by Mike and Ben. By the end of the evening however, everybody in the room was doing the Highland fling.

We look forward to working more with Unison. We are presently trying to organise a national tour of Purge. Updates on this soon.
