New Works New Worlds, The Arches, Glasgow

Star rating: **** The opening tranche of contributions to The Arches' New Works New Worlds festival took on the explicitly political but opaquely delivered preoccupations of the 1980s Culture Wars that became the stock in trade of New York's avant garde. This second round of miniatures at times resembled the so-called wave of more linear one-person shows that proved so cost effective on the Edinburgh Fringe in the early 1990s.
