<p><div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>Award-winning artist, writer and broadcaster Scottee grew up around mould, mice and second-hand clothes. After a chance meeting with some posh kids, his mum teaching him to talk proper and him successfully persuading his parents to take him off free school meals Scottee knew he didn't want to be common.</p> <p>In Class, Scottee uncovers what it is to be embarrassed about where you're from, how you can pretend to be richer than you are and explores why we all get a thrill from watching how the other half live.</p> <p>This is a book for the middle class, those who didn't grow up in poverty.</p> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>'This work is essential. For you and the world.' Sofie Hagen</p> <p>'Class is hard to watch, it's gruelling, it sticks to you, you can feel it after it is gone. But, so is growing up poor and the experience of poverty. Scottee has made something that doesn't let you off the hook, and nor should it.' Travis Alabanza</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></p>

<p><p>Hope and Joy</p> <p>Hope's labour is unusual and uneggspected. Happily, nothing fazes Joy, the hospital cleaner who helps her to escape. Then Joy is sacked from her job and she moves in with Hope and her swan-boy son, Magnus. Their lives collide in chaos - can they survive this shifting world?</p> <p>A deeply original play that explores love and loss in a changing environment, imagining Scotland in a time much like ours, but not quite.</p> <p>The Return</p> <p>France, 1560. In the foothills of the Pyrenees, Bertrande tends to her livestock and raises her young son, seven years after her husband disappeared. One day, a stranger, Arnaud, walks into her life and before long they decide to present him to the world as her long-lost husband.&nbsp; But is it possible that he really is her husband?</p> <p>Inspired by the true story of Martin Guerre, The Return is a gripping play about the mystery of identity, and asks whether we can ever truly know even those we love best.</p> <p>' ... the story is told in a glorious, beautifully-balanced combination of strong, spare dialogue, eloquent movement, and haunting Languedoc song ...' Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 2018</p></p>
