Ladies and gentleman! Let us present the romantic tenor, the couthy comedian, the speciality act and the equilibrist - a real Concert Party! In its halycon days variety theatre was part of the social life blood of the country. But in the shadow of the enemy - the technological wonder of the talkies - only the bravest or saddest of performers are left reading the boards, in cine-variety. The death throes of one of Scotland's most popular entertainments are chronicled in this world premiere of a new play by Scots playwright Douglas Maxwell, the traditions brought briefly back to pulasting life by Grid Iron Theatre Company. Variety is a co-production between Grid Iron Theatre Company and the Edinburgh International Festival. It opens at the King's Theatre, Edinburgh in August 2002.
Douglas Maxwell is one of the most popular and produced playwrights in Scotland. His other plays include Our Bad Magnet, If Destroyed True, Promises Promises and The Miracle Man. His Plays for Young People include Decky Does A Bronco, Helmet, Mancub and The Mother Ship. All are published by Oberon Books, now Methuen Drama.
