(Can This Be) Home

Tron Theatre, Glasgow

(Can This Be) Home is half music gig, half spoken word.  Kolbrun Bjort Sigfusdottir examines the immigrant experience of the EU referendum and flautist and composer Tom Oakes plays the tunes his travels have inspired. Between them is a tape deck and a pile of sand. A show literally in the making since the summer before the vote, we take stock of where we are now, whatever that now looks like. Read more …

Can we ever feel at home again? Brite Theater is a multi-award-winning company known for unorthodox stagings. (Can This Be) Home won the Prague Fringe New Territories Award 2018.


The critical consensus

Entertaining and thought-provoking, it is easy to see why (Can this be) Home is award-winning and should be given a platform big enough to get its message out there, and fast.

****(*)Stephanie Allard, Review Sphere, 30/03/2019

This intimate and heartfelt sharing of private fears is an urgent real life insight into the everyday ramifications of the business of bad government, which nevertheless evolves into a fragile but essential compendium of life-affirming joy.

****(*)Neil Cooper, Coffee-Table Notes, 29/03/2019

(Can this be) Home is guttural, rough at edges but what is expected from a show that’s had to constantly shift more times than Parliament has had votes on the matter? Brite Theater is a welcome piece of theatre in Scotland – just as welcome as its creators.

****(*)Dominic Corr, The Reviews Hub, 29/03/2019

This is visceral, vulnerable and powerful writing.

****(*)Erin Roche, Edinburgh Guide, 31/03/2019

For a show supposedly about connection and communication, there’s absolutely no chemistry between the pair on stage.
