The sheer volume of talent across the whole production of Sleeping Warrior's To Save the Sea is pretty wonderful. Scots protest theatre grafted to a Larson-like - sung through!! -show of heart, anger and hope... Magic stuff. And a bangin cast!

Big, bold, ambitious work from one of our best touring companies Sleeping Warrior - for a packed out audience at the Traverse Theatre. Brilliant work by @A_R_McGregor Isla Cowan and all the team!

Thank you so much Allan Wilson for your kind words about To Save the Sea❤️ So delighted you enjoyed it and for your 7:84 comparison - we made the show with a strong political impetus and the “good night out” tradition very much in mind - so it’s great to hear that you felt this✨

Loved To Save The Sea at Traverse Theatre last night. So good & rare to see uncompromising political theatre that is also that entertaining. Well done to Isla Cowan, Andy McGregor, Sleeping Warrior, the amazing cast and everyone else involved! 🌊

It was such a joy to visit SUISS this year for an author reading and Q&A - a phenomenal cohort of students with such passion and talent! As you can see from my huge smile in this photo(!), I loved reading from my play She Wolf and chatting all things theatre and playwriting!
