In partnership with Just Festival and Black Dingo Productions, Glasgow Women’s Library is proud to host Creepie Stool by Scottish Playwright Jen McGregor.
Set in Edinburgh, 1637, this captivating historical drama tells the story of Jenny Geddes. Cabbage seller Jenny flings a stool at a minister and starts a riot in St Giles. Calvinists and Catholics clash on city streets and Jenny’s employer demands an explanation – leading to unwelcome discoveries behind closed doors.
This partnership is part of our Mixing The Colours: Women Speaking About Sectarianism Project and our ongoing work to sharing women’s experiences of sectarianism.
Black Dingo Productions is a not-for-profit community with a DIY ethic. It supports emerging talent in theatre and brings affordable theatre to audiences year round.
Just Festival, an annual celebration of culture, faith, philosophy and ideas, Creepie Stool is one of a trio of plays focusing on the subject of sectarianism, which have been commissioned by the festival.
Join us for this atmospheric evening performance in our beautiful new space in Bridgeton.
