The Top 50 Greatest Scots Of All Time Ever
Both a celebration and deconstruction of the truly great iconic figures of our history and culture. This comic show satirises that cultural nihilism, while at the same time celebrating some of the truly great achievements of a small, northern European colony. Vladimir McTavish's most ambitious work to date incorporating stand-up, songs, poetry, video and visual images.

Cabaret Baby
An international group of outstanding musicians drawn from classical, improvised, electronic, and rock backgrounds enter new territory with Cabaret Baby. They mix an ultra-resourceful nine-piece instrumental line up with live electronics and DJ sets. 'An irreverent stronk that sounds somewhere between the Happy End, The Threepenny Opera and Guys and Dolls.' (The Herald)
