We are delighted to present yet another great collaboration with Glasgow’s Òran Mór’s ground-breaking lunchtime theatre programme A Play, a Pie and a Pint. Join us for lunchtime or teatime for one of the very latest productions on transfer over to the Gaiety Theatre studio:-
The Glasgow Poisoner: A New Musical.
Written and directed by Tom Cooper & Jen McGregor.
Musical direction by Samuel Macdonald
The most sensational murder trial of the nineteenth century. Madeleine Smith, a Glasgow socialite living in Blythswood Square, was accused of a secret affair and poisoning her lover to death. The trial ended with a rare ‘Not Proven’ verdict, but now Plume, an aspiring pamphleteer, is working out which version of the story to tell. Was Madeleine innocent or guilty? Inspired by the scandalous real-life story, The Glasgow Poisoner is a new musical by Tom Cooper and Jen McGregor that explores our obsession with true crime and female killers, then and now.
Produced by A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór, co-presented with OneRen and The Ayr Gaiety.
