Panic Patterns

Rehearsals are well under way for Panic Patterns, the play Zoe Strachan and I have written together. The play is directed by award winning Alison Peebles and stars Selina Boyack as Fay and Veronica Leer as  Jacq. Nichola Scrutton is composing the soundscape and Colin O'Hara is designing the set. 

Ornithologists Jacq and Fay are on a remote island in the far north of Scotland investigating sudden changes in bird migration patterns. Fay believes these changes signify forthcoming disaster. Jacq thinks the isolation is making her younger lover paranoid. But they were meant to leave the island three days ago, their boat home still hasn't arrived and their radio has been dead for a week. When the decommissioned lighthouse across the bay shines back into life, the two women are forced to make a crucial decision.

Panic Patterns was commissioned by Glasgay and you can read a little bit about our writing process in an interview Zoe and I did with The List.
