Our film captures a feeling of reflection, of harvesting memories and Autumn’s largess. It unstoppers, decants and spills out memory in poetry and prose, inviting you to think about what it is to cook, preserve, nurture and feed others in a rural landscape.
A Buskers production.

Egg is a powerful and evocative aerial theatre production from acclaimed circus theatre company Paper Doll Militia, a highly visual exploration of female fertility, sexuality and choice.
Weaving together personal testimony, live original music and stunning aerial artistry, Egg takes audiences on a deeply personal and political journey, following the true story of a woman who gave her eggs to her friend to have a child. Science & friendship, the patient journey and the medicalization of making a family.

Tron Theatre, Glasgow
Tues 29 March
The Grain Store. Written by NATAL’YA VOROZHBIT. Translated by SASHA DUGDALE. A special play reading in aid of Ukraine
All box office income will be donated to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal
Twenty-five actors will take to the Tron stage to read this extraordinary play set in a village in Ukraine in the 1930s. Loyalties become divided as friends and families deal with the consequences of Stalin’s first five year plan – a plan which resulted catastrophically in the deaths through famine of several million people.
Beginning with innocent romance, The Grain Store evolves into a dark, tragic, often weirdly comic and hugely theatrical work of art.
