From A City Balcony

Part of Mayfesto 2011

‘Footsteps and witnesses! In this Glasgow balcony who pours such joy like mountain water?... From a city balcony, Edwin Morgan Read more …

The Drunk, the love stories, the two pals at George Square….The Glasgow of now and the Glasgow as Edwin Morgan saw it. Follow the map – turn left, then right, bolt across Glasgow Green, go in the snack bar and let the storm wash the plates…

After the success of their debut performance Remind Me Who I Am Again, Tron Young Company showcase their latest piece of work inspired by the poems of Edwin Morgan.


The critical consensus

The show could perhaps have dared to explore a little more of the lyrical beauty and intellectual challenge of Morgan’s poetry, rather than focussing mainly on his cheeky yarns of Glasgow literally caught with its trousers down, its skirt up, and the contents of its stomach on the pavement. But the writing still glitters with unexpected moments of exquisite joy; and the material inspires an extraordinary series of poised and humorous performances from its young and gifted cast, with none of the unevenness that so often weakens youth theatre work, but is comprehensively avoided here.
