A PLAY, A PIE AND A PINT INTERROGATED
Oran Mor’s groundbreaking lunchtime theatre programme, A Play, A Pie and A Pint, began in 2004 and now commissions and produces 38 new plays a year. We produce the work of many of Scotland’s best known writers, as well as presenting the work of new young playwrights. We have also presented seasons of plays from writers from Latin America, the Arab World and China.

Meet the Creative team behind Scotland’s unique lunchtime theatrical phenomenon  where we gather together a tour-de-force of Scotland’s creative writing and acting talent that have worked with us over the years to debate the following questions:

• Why does it work?
• Why is it popular?
• What exactly is ‘shit-a-brick’ Monday?
• Where do plays go after ?

There will be debate, discussion, possibly some play readings and a pint to wash it all down.
