REVIEWS
"A bedrock of the Scottish theatre industry" ~ The Guardian
‘An extraordinary engine of new writing and new talent. For established writers it’s a chance to experiment … new writers it’s a chance to be heard. The restrictions of the form are simple – small cast, 45 mins, limited set; but, within those restrictions, a whole world is possible. A Play, A Pie and A Pint is one of those simple ideas that changes everything’ ~ David Greig
‘A major part of Scotland’s new playwriting landscape’ ~ The Scotsman
