This show is part of the TMS BIG DAY, with a FREE BUS running between Tramway, Platform and Tron to see Liquid Sky, UXO and Diamond/What Girls Are Made Of. 

Presented by Take Me Somewhere, National Theatre of Scotland and Platform, with support from Luminate and Outspoken Arts Scotland.

Combining a Dr Strangelove-inspired performance with a daring forum for public conversation, Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) explores ageing, anxiety, hidden desires and how to look forward when the future is uncertain. In the Situation Room, twelve audience members are invited to become a Council of Elders to discuss the global issues of the day, as the company weave in satirical insights and humour. Adopting the characters of a bombastic general and ineffectual president, Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver of Split Britches present this interactive piece as equal parts comedy performance and urgent political discussion.

Split Britches continues with the duo and solo work of Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw spanning satirical, gender-bending performance, public engagement, videography, digital and print media, explorations of ageing and wellbeing, and iconic lesbian-feminist theatre.
