New heartfelt comedy TRANSPARENT to premier at Oran Mor

“Do you ever get the feeling you dinnae really exist?”

Set on one night out in Glasgow, Transparent is a touching new comedy by LC Stephens, premiering this September as part of A Play, A Pie and A Pint’s Autumn season.

Barry feels like he’s slowly fading into the background of his own life. Clare, after a recent loss, feels like she’s unravelling in hers. A chance encounter in a crowded bar means they both end up on a night out together, where sparks fly. Will they both see what’s right in front of them? Or will it slip through their fingers?

Directed by Graham McLaren, former Artistic Director of Abbey Theatre, Transparent explores what it is like to find love later on in life and feeling brave enough to be seen. The cast features Jo Freer (Stand and Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In), Tom McGovern (The Signalman) and Keith Macpherson (Sunshine on Leith).

Transparent will perform for one week only from 7-12 September at Glasgow’s Òran Mór with all tickets including food and drink.

“The play was inspired by the audience at A Play, A Pie and A Pint, one of the most generous, open and kind audiences, and one that I have enjoyed being part of on and off for over twenty years. In writing Transparent, my debut play, they were the first audience that I thought of; I hope this play speaks to them and gives them joy.”
