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

Saw Backbeat twice with my old school pals and wanted to see it a third or fourth time. The perfect ending for me was being in a Glasgow nightclub on 6th March for a 40th birthday party and there on the dance floor was the whole cast celebrating the last night of the show! I spoke to 'Stuart', 'George' and 'Paul'. Glad to say they were all lovely lads and very patient with this Beatles-mad 50-something rock chick. Good Luck guys, you were magic.

I see that you forgot to mention that the house Rachel was protecting was the home of a suicide bomber, who had successfully blown himself up in a public bus. He killed many, Israelis and Palestinians, and she was protecting the family home, that was to be demolished. I guess the Citizen's Theater cares nothing about the truth, only the propaganda they want to show. You are also missing the pics of Rachael, screaming and burning the flag, a real nice gal, she was. Human rights is not for terrorism, but human rights!

Saw this last night in the Citzs - wonderful! Will recommend this show to others. As for the comments from the 'musician' - get a life! The Hamburg days reflect an inexperienced, hard working band who dabbled in drugs, in reality I doubt very much that they were 'tight'. Thank goodness they developed into what they became. Also they play was about a love triangle, maybe you missed the point.

Thank you and congratulations to all involved. This child of the sixties had tears in her eyes and a huge smile on her face. I had a hairs rising on the back of the neck moment when Stu re-appeared and Astrid told John that Stu would always be there.

Hi, the show is not touring, just at the Citizens Theatre. We are in fact very close to the City Centre. The theatre is just 10 mins walk across Victoria Bridge from M&S on Argyle St., with Bridge St. Underground very close by (and plenty of free car parking space). Click on "About" in our main menu and we have lots of directions in "Find Us". Hope you can make it.

I would love to see the play but the Citizen's is too awkward in the evening. Will it be performed in Edinburgh or even the city centre Glagow or elsewhere in Scotland?

I went to see the shows Wednesday 4th March performance and i absolutely loved it. Fantastic cast, especially Andrew Knott playing Lennon. I can't recommend this show highly enough and not just to Beatles fans... it's a great show for everyone. Funny,exciting and poignant, everyone was up on their feet by the end. Fantastic.

Saw Backbeat last night and it was truly FAB! The design of the set blew my mind, so clever and visually enthralling. The entire show was amazing, thoroughly enjoyable two hours of theatre, everyone involved in the production should be proud of themselves......what to see it again and again!

Thanks to all concerned for a great evening's entertainment (on Monday 1 March). The staging and individual performances were exemplary and even knowing the ending didn't detract from the power of the drama as it unfolded. Kudos to the 'band' also - anyone who comes along expecting the slick perfectionism of a tribute act should stick with the Bootleg Beatles. To these eyes and ears, the musical numbers were delivered with all the raucous energy and enthusiasm that I'm sure typified the Fab Five's Hamburg days and, as such, were absolutely on the money. If you haven't seen this show yet and can still find a ticket, don't hesistate.

Fantastic show. Great acting, singing and playing (sod what the picky musician says!) with a clever set. Must tour. Must be a West End hit. Well done all at the Citz. I'll have to come back to Glasgow now!
