A Play A Pie and A Pint
PPP: The Swansong
★★★★☆ Emotional
The Swansong is undoubtedly one of the most impressive of Òran Mór’s A Play, A Pie and A Pint offerings to visit the Traverse in recent years.
PPP: The Legend of Davie McKenzie
★★★☆☆ Ebullient
The Legend of Davie McKenzie, the latest A Pie and A Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is an energetic and emotional piece.
Summer lunching at Roxy
PPP to stage four productions at Assembly Roxy
Assembly Roxy is to host four productions from Glasgow’s famed lunchtime theatre producers, A Play, A Pie and A Pint (PPP) in April, May and June 2026.
PPP: Someone’s Knockin’ at the Door
★★★☆☆ Charming
Someone’s Knockin’ at the Door, the first in the new batch of A Play, A Pie and A Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a well-performed and pleasing – if ultimately insubstantial – production
Dancing Shoes
★★★★☆ Moving
Dancing Shoes, written by Stephen Christopher and Graeme Smith, is a joyful and hilarious exploration of addiction, attention, male friendship, and the love of movement.
PPP: Righ Iasgair: The Fisher King
★★★☆☆ Jarring
Righ Iasgair: The Fisher King by Kenny Boyle, the last in the current series of the Traverse’s presentations of Òran Mór’s A Play, A Pie & A Pint, is an evocative presentation of Scottish language and culture that fails to carry off a drastic shift in tone.
PPP: Maybe Tomorrow
★★★☆☆ Jolly
Maybe Tomorrow, by Brian James O’Sullivan and Hannah Jarrett-Scott from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is one of those mini-musicals that A Play, A Pie & A Pint does so well. If it is all a bit inconsequential, it is highly enjoyable.
PPP: Cheapo
★★★☆☆ Promising
Cheapo by Katy Nixon impresses in the way it deals with serious issues. It is well acted and full of life but has something of an unfinished feel.
Man’s Best Friend
★★★★☆ Beautifully performed
Man’s Best Friend by Douglas Maxwell is a Tron Theatre production ending its tour at the Traverse for three performances, and should certainly be caught while you still have the chance.
PPP: Our Brother
★★★☆☆ Serious
Our Brother by Jack MacGregor, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a tense political drama that is well acted but whose structure occasionally lets it down.
