Better Together

Better Together by David Weir.
Winner of Write Now 7.

Produced by the Jack Studio Theatre.
Directed by Kate Bannister.

A nation decided. A family is divided.

Two years on from the vote for Independence in Scotland, Arlene is just as passionate and angry as she was on the day her family voted no. On her eighteenth birthday she announces her own defiant act of freedom. Meanwhile her older sister Shona is pursuing a different kind of independence, when she’s left holding the baby whilst her husband is in jail.

One family must face the consequences of its personal and political actions, of the promises they made, and decide where their loyalties now lie.

Better Together is about the love that binds us together, and the time when we need to break away and make our own lives.

‘Independence matters, Dad.’

There will be a post show Q & A on Friday 13th May with the writer and creative team.
This is free and open to all who have attended that night’s performance.
