Traverse Theatre

TravCast is the Writer's Podcast from the Traverse, Scotland’s New Writing Theatre. Associate Director, Hamish Pirie, interviews well known playwrights whose work features in the year round programme at the Traverse. In this episode, Hamish Speaks to Gary McNair. Gary is a writer, performer and director based in Glasgow. His first performance for a Play, a Pie and a Pint – a one man show about the failings of our financial system called Crunch – went on to achieve critical acclaim at the Forest Fringe during Edinburgh’s Festivals in 2011. Gary was one of the artistic collaborators on The Jean Jacques Rousseau Show, a Play a Pie and a Pint’s 250th production. Other work include: Count Me In (National Theatre of Scotland) and How Soon Is Nigh? (The Arches and the Traverse). His latest play Born to Run features in this year's Traverse Festival 2012 programme. Original music by James Iremonger www.jamesiremonger.co.uk Produced and engineered by Cian O Siochain
