Concerned Others

This majority of seats for this performance are being held for state school audiences, so you will only be able to book Block C tickets. This show repeats on Tuesday 15 October for public viewing.

Scotland has the highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe. One of the highest rates per head of population in the world. In communities across the country, families, loved ones, and clinicians support people experiencing substance dependency.

Multi-award-winners Tortoise in a Nutshell present Concerned Others, an intimate tabletop performance that shares the stories of critically underheard voices. Accounts that paint us as a nation struggling to fully recognise a culture of judgement, ignorance and misunderstanding surrounding addiction and substance-related death.

Immersive soundscapes, shoebox installations, turntables, micro-projection and 32mm figures combine to create a multi-textured piece exploring a defining crisis.

Running Time: 60 mins, no interval. There will be a post-show Q&A at this event. Age Guidance: 14+ themes including drugs. Features recordings of lived perspectives regarding drug abuse.
