Our Time Productions presents Two Tribes - A comedic clash of tradition and ambition in the heart of Glasgow's East End.

It’s 1983, and Archie McCann is in a right pickle.

His daughters, Tricia and Kathleen, are both getting married on the same day as the Celtic vs Rangers League Cup Final!
Torn between family duty and football fever, Archie faces chaos at every turn. With wife Rita off protesting, rival football fans joining the family, and nosey neighbour Maggie harbouring a secret crush, the stage is set for a hilarious day of weddings, football, and mayhem.

Get ready for a bellyful of laughs as Archie tried to juggle weddings, football, and a whole lot of chaos!

Saturday 24th October, 7.30pm at Biggar Corn Exchange

Suitcase Stories debuts two enchanting shows this year, perfect for young, imaginative minds!

The morning show, for ages 3-5, follows Little Toy, who is left behind on a beach. With help from a butterfly, he sets off across the sea to find the children - but first, he must face a sea monster...

The afternoon show, for ages 6+, follows Ada into a dream world of quests, feathers and a Glass Mountain. Inspired by a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, this tiny-world adventure sees Ada uncover the mysterious Raven's secret - and the truth about her past.
