KING OF THE CASTLE

Writer, PHIL KEDDIE has always wanted to own a Castle. Now, thanks to the National Trust for Scotland, he has one. True, it was a ruin, and true, it was going to take time and money to renovate. But while Phil is delighted, his agent, MYRON CAPLAN is dismayed. Phil sets off to his castle leaving Myron to sell his latest novel. Months later, Myron arrives at the castle with the news that Hollywood wants to turn the novel into a movie block-buster. That's the good news. The bad news is that Myron is accompanied by Phil's ex-wife VIVIEN who wants to play a part in the movie. If this isn't bad enough, Phil's other ex-wife GLORIA also arrives at the castle. The subsequent arrival of two Hollywood hotshots threatens to be the last straw especially as the two hotshots are not all they appear to be. CLINGFEATHER is a crook, that's for sure. TINA is gorgeous, that's also for sure. But what about her mysterious Scottish ancestors? And what about her strange birthmark? And what about DOUGAL McTOORIE's dire predictions? And what about Dougal McToorie?

SOUTHSIDE CITY BLUES

The complete, concise, and not to say catastrophic history of ANDRA ROBERTSON’s Southside Players Drama Group told in every grim and gory detail. With a cast ranging from Hollywood’s Marilyn Monroe to Glasgow’s very own Saint Mungo the scene is set for a modern Scottish comedy full of confusion, fun and farce with the occasional explosion of artistic and temperamental tantrum that we all know and love. A cast of colourful characters include QUENTIN, estate agent, mummy’s boy, and would-be playwright; actress UPHIE, tough, tarty and temperamental. SHUGIE, an actor who has seen better days (although nobody remembers them) and of course the inimitable Andra himself, ducking and diving throughout. A heady mixture that sends out a terrible warning to any aspiring playwright or thespian.
