A little Shake, Eliza and Noel

When I meet David MacLennan – producer of the famous lunchtime theatre A Play, A Pie And A Pint – at the Oran Mor venue in the West End of Glasgow, he is in the midst of staging One Day In Spring, a startlingly raw rollercoaster through the current Arab revolutions, performed by young Egyptian actors.

It speaks volumes about MacLennan and his prolificacy as a producer that while his theatre is evoking the historic current events in Egypt, Syria and Bahrain, he is also on the cusp of his fifth season of abridged versions of classic plays.
