Gothic
Young Co
The Young Co. present fiendishly dark stories from the pen of Edgar Allan Poe. Watch trailer.
Inside an exquisite masquerade rages, outside death and pestilence drip like blood. A
one-eyed black cat holds a dark secret and a razor sharp pendulum relentlessly sweeps above its victim.
Are you brave enough to enter the twisted mind of the godfather of the gothic genre?
A gothic evening of fiendish tales from Edgar Allan Poe

PRESS
“Black Cat was probably the most arresting of the four pieces with a stand-out performance from Scott McKay, playing the anti-hero of the piece…Shingirirai Nyatsanza…provided a chilling lasting memory of the abused hung cat, while Mark Torley added some cameo humour as a pub landlord.”
The Herald ★★★
“Lynn Kennedy…gave a cracking performance…hats off for what could be the blood-curdling scream of the year.”

My husband & I came to Gothic last night. Neither of us had been in the Citizens for over 30 years despite regularly attending theatre performances throughout the city. It had certainly changed and we thought the foyer was nice and the convenience of car parking excellent. The seating obviously in the studio is not the most comfortable however the intimacy it provides to the show was very atmospheric and certainly tolerable for the short space of an hour. We very much enjoyed the show and thought the young co were excellent, especially the lead roles in both the black cat and premature burial. We will certainly be keeping an eye out for more shows which we might enjoy. Thanks for a highly entertaining night.

Hi Roisin, Obviously we'd recommend booking in advance to guarantee a ticket. You can pay for a ticket now and collect it anytime before the show (ideally more than 15mins before start time). You can reserve a ticket via 0141 429 0022 without paying; but this has to be paid 3 days before the show, i.e. Wednesday. Does that help?

Hello, can you buy tickets at the door on the night or should I book in advance, although it is only a few days away now. Planning on going on the Saturday night at 730pm. Thanks.

Hi Paul, as a company we do tour abroad, mainly with our professional productions. However, I'm afraid we don't have the budget to tour abroad with Young Co.. I'll certainly pass on your message as they'll be delighted that you were interested in their production. Sorry we can't help this time. A wee trip to Madrid would be amazing!

Do you ever tour productions overseas? I teach in a large British school in Madrid, I'm always telling pupils how great the Citizens' is, so one student asked if there might be any chance of seeing this Poe piece here in Madrid.
