Whatever Gets You Through the Night, The Arches

By Cora Bissett, Swimmer One and David Greig, presented by The Arches & Regular Music in association with Richard Jordan Productions

Scotland’s most distinctive novelists, poets, musicians, songwriters and playwrights – including Errors, Ricky Ross, Alan Bissett, Rachel Sermanni, Withered Hand, RM Hubbert, Emma Pollock and Stef Smith – and you: a nation of people, awake in the dark, waiting for the light to come. This ambitious multimedia performance, created by Cora Bissett (Roadkill), Swimmer One and David Greig (Midsummer, Prudencia Hart), was a sell-out sensation at Glasgow’s Arches. Come and meet lost souls, party animals and dreamers in a snapshot of a country at its most vulnerable and revealing. Winner: Creative Scotland Awards 2012.
