Top Scottish talent set to tour the nation and beyond to tell chip shop tale.
An all-star cast of Scottish actors have teamed up to tell the story of family-owned chip shop in crisis.
Rab C. Nesbitt’s Gregor Fisher, Brian Pettifer in BBC’s The Musketeers, Still Game’s Paul Riley and Bob Servant’s sidekick Jonathan Watson all feature in the show which tells the story of a family facing the fish and chip shop scrap heap.
Set in the Scots-Italian The Minerva Fish Bar, the famous cast tell the hilarious story of Yer Granny.
The family’s matriarch (played by Gregor Fisher) has already eaten their fish and chip shop into bankruptcy and is now working her way through their kitchen cupboards, pushing the Russo family to desperate measures just to survive.
Yer Granny is adapted by award-winning playwright Douglas Maxwell (A Respectable Widow Takes to Vulgarity, Miracle Man, If Destroyed True) from Argentina’s most popular and provocative play, and directed by National Theatre of Scotland Associate Director Graham McLaren (In Time O’ Strife, The Tin Forest, A Christmas Carol).
The production is touring to Scotland’s large theatre stages from 19 May to 4 July 2015, visiting Greenock, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness, Dundee as well as a run in Belfast with a press performance on Wednesday 27 May at the King’s Theatre, Glasgow.
The show is presented by National Theatre of Scotland. For more information: www.edtheatres.com/yergranny and www.nationaltheatrescotland.com.
