Theatre shows for the Regal

- Sean O’Neil

The relaunched Reconnect Regal Theatre has two upcoming production­s this month.

On October 12 it’s time for a‘Girls’Night Oot!’

Join the girls on a hen night that you won’t forget with a smash hit retro soundtrack with songs from the 60s,70s, 80s, 90s and now presented by Insideout Theatre Production­s.

To prepare for a marriage all a girl needs are her friends and a guid old hen night! Banterous, Balshy and Bootylicio­usly good fun.

Songs include‘Hot Stuff’, ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’, ‘I’m Every Woman’and many more!

Starring Donna Hazelton (Chicago), Natalie Tulloch (The Steamie), Lauren Ellis Steele (Wicked), Alison Rona Cleland (Legally Blonde).

Written and directed by Paul Harper-Swan, this show is for audiences age 18 plus only.

“Insideout has the crowd-pleasing song choices picked to perfection.”- West End Dreamer.

Then for two nights, October 26 and 27 it’s ‘Singin’I’m No’a Billy He’s a Tim’.

On the day of an Old Firm clash, a Rangers and Celtic fan end up sharing a courtroom cell.

Their only hope of escape is betting on the match to pay their fines. While taking turns to watch the game on a TV through their cell door, the pair bicker their way through every entrenched cliché of ‘Scotland’s shame’ from religion to politics and national identity.

But aided by their kindly turnkey Harry – whose worries for his sick grandson help put their petty quarrels into perspectiv­e – they’re forced to reach a grudging understand­ing.

Des Dillon’s brilliant satire of bigotry in Scotland and its connection with the nation’s two biggest football teams first scored critical acclaim at the Fringe in 2005, and has since been a near-constant fixture in theatres in Scotland.
