Panic Patterns
Visiting Company
A new commission from award-winning novelists Louise Welsh and Zoë Strachan. Part of Glasgay! Scotland’s annual celebration of queer culture.
Ornithologists Jacq and Fay are on a remote island in the far north of Scotland investigating sudden changes in bird migration patterns. Fay believes these changes signify forthcoming disaster. Jacq thinks the isolation is making her younger lover paranoid. But they were meant to leave the island three days ago, their boat home still hasn’t arrived and their radio has been dead for a week. When the decommissioned lighthouse across the bay shines back into life, the two women are forced to make a crucial decision.
Sometimes tender, sometimes disorientating, Panic Patterns draws on contemporary fears to create an edgy, suspenseful drama for a new decade.
BY ZOË STRACHAN & LOUISE WELSH

I just listened to a radio program of this on BBC, and I was pretty disappointed with the (lack of) ending. Other than that, I was quite entertained.
