CATHY

Elaine C. Smith returns in triumph. The sensational smash hit comedy hailed at the Edinburgh Festival comes home to Glasgow with the original all-Glaswegian cast.

Eilidh Loan’s first play, Moorcroft, was a sensation when it opened to critical acclaim when she directed it at the Tron in Glasgow. Cathy is a new comedy that earned over 100 stars from the critics. Eilidh was inspired by her grandmother, and how she dealt with the grief in her unique way after losing her husband. Cathy, Eilidh’s grandmother, born and raised in Renfrew, insisted that Elaine C. Smith must play her, and so she is.

Glasgow International Comedy Festival presents the Traverse Theatre production at the Citizens Theatre.
