Second Circle Theatre would like you to put your overpriced Fringe drinks down for 45 minutes to experience Meeting at 33, to discuss alcohol abuse.
Taking place in a Salvation Army centre, this verbatim piece of theatre is disarmingly realistic, abandoning the formalities of ticket ripping and queuing - it’s as if you’ve stepped out of the festival into a different reality.
In a true, and uttely believable, Alcoholics Anonymous meeting stories are shared, tea consumed and solidarity enforced.
Each performance will see a different set of actors sharing nonfictional stories from actual people in a very accurate setting. Many stories are from younger people: one affected at 17, another early twenties surrounded by people claiming he’s at the age for drinking.
Not a performance expected in a festival filled with ‘free sketch comedy’, ‘new scottish writing’, and ‘sell-out circus show’, yet a real eye-opener.
