bar stories galore in play The booth
A comedic play telling a tale of love, loss, and friendship is coming to West Lothian.
The play,‘The booth’, written by peter paterson and produced and directed by Colin Scougall will stop off at bathgate’s Reconnect Regal Theatre on Sunday May 9.
The story is set in a glaswegian working-class pub where the lives of regulars and staff are guided along the way by a narrator who explores the relationship between the characters and their special drinking hole. Audiences can expect raw emotions and drama but plenty of laughs along the way.
Director Colin Scougall said, “Imagine cutting open the side of an east-end pub in glasgow and looking in on it. With this play, you see the real comedy characters and their antics. That’s what ‘The booth’ is all about. If you like ‘The Steamie’, you’ll love this”
Writer peter paterson who turned his life around by writing‘The booth’ added: “My life was on a downward spiral, drinking heavily and I was in trouble with the police for some of my behavior. I had to get my life on track and I decided to write‘The booth’ when I was at my lowest ebb and it saved me. No doubt about it. I’ve been sober for two years now and in a happier place all because I wrote this play. It will strike a chord with many people”
‘The booth’stars Scots actors, Carole Anders, Eddie gouther, peter paterson and Colin Scougall and will run across five dates in May, with performances in Rutherglen, Motherwell, bathgate, glasgow, and Airdrie.
The show contains swearing and adult themes and is suitable for those aged 16 and over. Tickets are on sale now at Reconnect Regal’s box office.
