Last chance to see this fast-paced, funny and moving fusion of the parables for our time, written and directed by Stephen Callaghan (Passionate Voices 2007; The Jeweller’s Shop 2003; Radiation of Fatherhood 2004/2005) and performed by people from across the Archdiocese of Glasgow. You will recognise the stories of the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, and the Unmerciful Servant as well as many others woven into one continuous story with a dramatic twist, set in modern-day Glasgow and London. The play has been a huge success in all venues so far and the tour continues with the second leg this week. Don’t miss it! (Due to the nature of a couple of scenes in the play, parental guidance is recommended for anyone below the age of 12)
FILM: MAN DANCIN’ (Certificate 15) – Post-film discussion with Director, Norman Stone, and Screenwriter, Sergio Casci

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the award-winning Glasgow gangster film with a difference. Jimmy Kerrigan, just released from prison, finds himself playing the part of Christ in a local passion play but with pressure from old ties on both sides of the law, and brother going off the rails, can the leopard really change its spots? Come along and take part in a discussion with the filmmakers afterwards. Please note that this event is suitable for persons over 15 years of age only.
MUSIC: FATHER’S SONG
