Barry Robertson's Insights

Crystal Galbraith, the playwright of Pride's Riot, discusses her inspiration for the play and the themes it explores. Pride's Riot follows two queer young people, Ryan and Andy, as they react to the news of Marsha P. Johnson's death and the impact it has on the queer community. Crystal emphasizes the importance of taking action against hate crimes and the need for justice. She also shares her writing process and the challenges she faced in capturing the tone and mood of the 90s setting. Crystal hopes that listeners will resonate with the characters' reactions and be inspired to speak up about their own experiences. About The Play: "Pride's A Riot" is a story set in 1992 that follows the journey of young Andy and Ryan as they navigate widespread discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. After activist Marsha P. Johnson is found dead, likely murdered, Andy and Ryan organise a protest demanding justice. When violence erupts, injuring many, they realise more drastic action is needed. Undaunted, the friends press on, determined to force society to confront the violence and indifference that queer people face daily. Their struggle speaks to the power of marginalised voices rising in righteous anger against injustice, refusing to be silent or invisible any longer.

Join us as we speak to Benjamin Harris, playwright of Wolfe of Bannoch, the audio play, as we learn what encouraged him to write the play, the history based on the characters and more! About the play: Join Alexander Stuart, the roguish Wolfe of Badenoch, on his reckless pursuit of power in medieval Scotland. Despite being the illegitimate son of the king., Alexander is determined to regain his lost titles and lands after being exiled from the realm. One day, a mysterious stranger visits Alexander's stronghold with a proposition to help him reclaim his former glory. Alexander takes this opportunity to recount his scandalous life story, starting from his early days of rebellion against the king alongside his father. Despite earning the permanent scorn of the crown prince, Alexander's father eventually claims the throne and rewards him with riches and responsibilities far beyond his station. This audio performance details Alexander's complicated relationships with his mistress Mary, the mother of his children, and his devious political dealings that won him the hand of the Countess of Ross and nearly half a kingdom. But eventually, his unquenchable ambition and lack of restraint catch up with him, and he loses everything. The question remains: Will the stranger's proposition be Alexander's salvation or his undoing? Follow this gripping and gritty historical drama as Alexander dances with destiny to seize power in 14th-century Scotland. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠About Stories From The Grey Hill Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Is a podcast supporting and showcasing new Audio Theatre writing.

Today I met with playwright Jack Dickson who is current play 'The Girls of Cartridge Hut No. 7' is soon to be performed in Ardeer Community Centre in Stevenston. I spoke with Jack about the show, growing up in North Ayrshire, and more. Info on the show: On May 9th 1884, ten young women lost their lives in an industrial accident at Nobel's Explosives factory on the Ardeer Peninsula. The women themselves were blamed for the accident by the bosses and newspapers of the time, and, of course, they weren't there to speak for themselves. But now - in prose, song and rap - The Girls of Cartridge Hut No.7 finally get to have their voices heard on what happened to them - and so much more!

The King of Scotland is one of those plays that stays with you for a long time and for me it's personal. I found the king of Scotland at the library at RWCMD in Cardiff while I was training to be an actor and now it's great to say that the Grey Hill has created a version for you to enjoy. Enjoy this episode as I sit and talk to Iain Heggie and chat about the production. And click here for more information from our website King of Scotland is an award-winning, dark comedy and a free adaptation of Gogol's A Diary of a Madman. Long-term unemployed Tommy McMillan joins a government-funded retraining scheme, "Up the Ladder". Cited as a shining example of the government's employment policies and chosen for a media profile, Tommy is taken on by the Department of Upward Mobility. The department gets more than they bargained for, however, when they discover just how far up the ladder Tommy is expecting to go. Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis, and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of politics, King of Scotland is an outrageous Fringe First-winning monologue. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barry-robertson/message

Catriona has never been in a play; she doesn't like reading Shakespeare outside of English class and she certainly never thought she would end up playing Juliet opposite Jeb' Romeo. Jeb has always loved theatre and is determined to give the performance of his life to be able to turn his passion into his work. The upcoming performance of Romeo and Juliet will have them both question what they want their future to look like and what is important in life. Sarah said ‘Without the Script Writing Competition, I probably never would have gotten into writing any play (least of all in the finals) so I am incredibly thankful that not only I get to have people read it but to get the chance to work together with actors to bring it to life. This competition has shown me how beautiful writing can be and the possibility to be able to be called a published playwright will most definitely inspire me to keep writing! Through this play, I hope I can show the world that theatre is not only about showing emotions on stage, but also off stage. Acting is an incredibly demanding art because it requires bravery and sacrifice to get to the top and I want readers to understand the beauty of theatre and the performing arts.

A wolf’s howl signals that things have changed in the Scottish Highlands. 10 years post-pandemic a widow and her daughter enjoy the safety and normality of their small family farm. Safe. It has always been that way, but beyond rural serenity, the world is in flux and what was once safe becomes a beacon for danger. Jane said ‘I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from being part of the Grey Hill UHI scriptwriting competition. I hope this short play entertains you, perhaps on your commute to work, perhaps as you feed the sheep or write an essay for uni. Wherever you find yourself I hope that playing with the concepts of rural and urban in your mind will distract and entertain you, for a little while, from our slow trudge out of lockdown towards a new normal.

Content Warning - Explicit Language: The following video contains language which may be offensive to some viewers and or / inappropriate for children. Becky has not long been living in her flat and has not had much time to get to know her neighbours. One night she is out the back waiting for her new dog to do its business when she runs into her neighbour Sam. Their conversation takes a Beckettian turn when talking shite turns serious: the near-strangers get into some heavy topics, in amongst plenty of bad toilet puns to keep things light. Issey said ‘This competition has given me an opportunity to test the waters as I hadn't given much thought to writing plays before - I'd been focusing on poetry. I have realised that besides this opportunity to showcase my work, I have been given a platform to vocalise important issues to me. Throughout the process, I have discovered that there is something totally different from writing a short story or a poem to the process of writing a script and handing it over to the actors for them to animate. The characters that you sketch out are made complete by the voice actors. I really enjoyed the collaborative aspect: letting someone else voice my words. I hope people can find something they identify with within this play - in whatever sense - and enjoy the company of two new voices nattering at you down the earbuds!

Set in Buffalo 1885. What does a dislocated elbow, a fainting assistant, and a trusty camera have in common? The answer is Henrietta Pemberton, a determined woman in a male preserve. Emily Said, ‘The competition has been a really great opportunity for new writers, such as myself, as it has allowed us to showcase our work to industry professionals and a wider public audience. Personally, this is the first writing competition I have entered, and the process and feedback on my writing has provided an amazing experience. It has really helped to boost my confidence in sharing my writing and trusting in it. I never thought I would reach the final, but I’m so happy (and stunned!) that I did, and I look forward to the outcome of the competition and what comes next! I hope the public enjoy my writing as they learn about an unusual and extraordinary practice by photographers in the past. The humour in the piece is meant to show the practice in a light-spirited way, to help deal with what is a sad situation.” Performed by Jill Connor If you enjoyed this production, click the link to vote for it as your favourite: https://www.thegreyhill.com/scriptcomp Production starts at appox 8min 32 secs --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barry-robertson/message
