About In Security / Thanks for Coming, Cheerio

Once again touching and hilariously funny his new plays will take you on a journey exploring relationships, money, temptation, danger, life, death and everything in-between, an event not to be missed.

Starring Peter Paterson, Eddie Gouther , Geraldine Greenhill and Liam O'Gorman.
Directed By Peter Paterson.

IN SECURITY
Two Security guards make a very difficult decision to Rob their boss, who happens to be one of the most notorious gangsters in Glasgow. A very funny and poignant play that looks at the fragility of life and the insecurities faced when a family man is struck with the temptation to recover his family life when presented with a monetary situation that could solve a recent debt crisis that has been sprung upon him, but at what cost?

THANKS FOR COMING, CHEERIO
A middle aged brother and sister separated by a generation reconnect and bond overnight on the run up to their mother's funeral. Memories and funny stories abound in this comedic tale full of heartfelt warmth and good humor, as the siblings cope and find ways to share their grief, a story that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. The ghosts from the past may not be the only ones laid to rest.

Contains swearing suitable for 16 years and above.
