Rock, Paper, Scissors - Tandem 2023

In 2023, Tandem Writing Collective bring you their most ambitious, moving and thought-provoking work in the form of three 20 minute plays in April 2023. The plays will be developed over the summer with a writing mentor and Tandem will return to stages in the Autumn with three 45 minute plays, grown from the seeds of our April shows.

You can come see our brand new 20 minute plays at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow on Wednesday, 5th April: https://www.tron.co.uk/shows/tandem-at-the-tron-2/ Or at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh on Saturday, 22nd April: https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event/tandem-writing-collective-spring-23

Tandem Writing Collective Presents: Rock, Paper, Scissors

How many people can you afford to feed? Five for a week? One for a month? How about 10 billion for the next 27 years, but then no-one at all? When the world runs out of resources, how will your grandchildren decide? Should we rock, paper, scissors for not just the right to be heard, but the right to survive?

With quiet facts drowned out by loud opinions and calamity around the corner, the hugely successful Tandem Writing Collective are back to bring their unique short writing and music nights to audiences, with their most ambitious and critical project to date: ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, exploring how we decide on the hardest, the most delicate and the most divisive themes facing us all today.

This event features three 20 minute plays written by Jennifer Adam, Amy Hawes and Mhairi Quinn, with live music from Aaron MacGregor.
