      The Zoo Story

      The Zoo Story

      Peter’s a nice guy. He’s quiet, polite and affable. Inoffensive. On Sundays, he takes a walk through the park. He visits his favourite bench. He sits, he reads, he smokes his pipe. For one small moment each week, he is content. Today, however, he is disturbed by a stranger named Jerry.

      Their coming together is, to Jerry’s mind, an opportunity. A singular chance at something intimate, powerful and entirely irreversible.

      Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story is a potent analysis of American capitalism and urban loneliness. It remains as blisteringly relevant today as it was when first published.

      Wednesday 29th January 2025 @ The Old Hairdresser’s, Renfield Lane; Doors 19:00, show starts 19:30

      Flynn Butler Fraser __ Solas Collective portrait

      Flynn Butler Fraser | Sólàs Collective

      Flynn Butler Fraser is a Scottish composer and multi-instrumentalist whose work blends a mixture of traditional, contemporary classical & electroacoustic elements. Currently studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, he has showcased his versatility through a wide range of performances: including live diffusing his electroacoustic works, working collaboratively on the absurdist melodrama ‘The Pathetic Planet’ with contemporary duo Romi Sarfaty and Dale Williamson, developing an acousmatic work for the Conservatoire’s ballet department, and having a new premiere performed by the Nordic Viola ensemble. Flynn currently resides in Clackmannanshire.

      Flynn will perform a collection of diverse & contemporary works for the Scottish Smallpipes, this unique performance pushing the instrument out with its traditional boundaries. The music, ranging from ambient to active, is further supported through the composer’s distinct electronic approach.

      Sólàs Collective is the experimental trio of Fionnlagh Mac A Phiocair, Sarah Hanniffy, and Tom Macfadyen. They combine bagpipes, viola, voice and real-time electronic signal processing to create ambient soundscapes with inflections of Scottish traditional music, folklore, oral history, natural landscapes and Gàidhlig song. A newly established group, the Sólàs Collective had their debut public performance at the Ceol Nua event as part of Piping Live! Festival 2024.

      Sólàs Collective will be showcasing a series of works exploring aspects of Gàidhlig culture, landscapes, free improvisation and interaction. Their performance promises to be moving, immersive, and dreamlike.

      Trash Cinema presents COBRA

      The New World cult believes the strong should destroy the weak – that they can slaughter their way across Los Angeles and get away with it.

      Sociopathic super-cop Marion Cobretti believes it’s time they face justice, Cobra-style – guns, grenades, cool cars and absolutely no sense of what constitutes an appropriate level of violence in any given situation.

      Join Trash Cinema this December for an over-the-top, ultra-authoritarian, super-macho trashfest starring a guy who eats pizza with scissors.

      Crime is a disease. ’80s Machismo is the cure.

       

      Doors open 7pm with a pre-show selection of retro trailers, ads and trashy entertainment, followed by the movie at 7.30pm – Monday the 9th of December at *The Old Hairdresser’s.

      Free popcorn and sweeties for all!
