Pachamama Theatre, National Theatre of Scotland, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Regular Music

A freshly imagined production of GLASGOW GIRLS returns to the stage, with a new design, cast members and musical arrangements. The hit, music-filled drama opens at the Assembly Hall as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Made in Scotland 2016 programme, before embarking on a UK tour including a London run at the Theatre Royal Stratford East.

Cora Bissett’s passionate, political, high school musical, has won the hearts of audiences in London and Glasgow from its original runs in 2012 to 2014. This UK tour re-introduces us to the seven school girls from Drumchapel High, who along with community members and teachers fought for their rights of their school friend to stay in Scotland and subsequently took on the Scottish Parliament to defend the rights of all refugee children.

Glasgow Girls is a celebration of the power of teenagers and a community with a cause, offering a strong, positive and unifying message, featuring a highly charged musical score with reggae dub, electronic grime, folk rock, international beats and show tunes, composed by a diverse array of contemporary musical talent.
