ARE THERE REALLY THINGS MORE PRECIOUS
MORE LONG LASTING
THAN LIFE ITSELF?
PLAY, PIE & PINT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE TRAVERSE THEATRE
Ninety years after his own demise, Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s internationally acclaimed masterpiece lies in ruins. For the second time in four years a fire has torn through Glasgow’s most venerable building, tearing just-healed scars wide apart once more. Should we save The Mack or just let it go?
“A beautifully-paced production by Jack Nurse, with gorgeous, lyrical music and sound by Vanlves”
“Brilliant direction from Jack Nurse ”
“It’s a cannily-wrought, hauntingly nuanced piece of writing, compellingly delivered by the cast and kept free of faux-dramatics by director Jack Nurse”
The Mack by Rob Drummond @OranMorGlasgow focuses on the legacy of 2 disastrous fires at Mackintosh’s masterpiece and the far reaching effects this has on our subconscious and how art, heritage and cultural identity are part of our lives. Wonderfully portrayed by all 3 characters. pic.twitter.com/7PyORkz5CG
