About this Event

Presenting Writing for Theatre by Scotland's diverse talent featuring the work by Catherine Bisset, Fin Ross Russell and Sanjay Lago.

'Working Title' by Sanjay Lago

New autobiographical play by Sanjay Lago in development with the National Theatre of Scotland. Sanjay Lago is a Glasgow based Scottish Indian Actor, Writer and Facilitator. A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Sanjay has been within the Arts Industry for over 10 years, working stage and screen.


Sanjay was a Lead Artist until April 2022 on an Immerse Project with Imaginate as well as being a Trainee Artist on their “Where We Are Project” with Refuweegee until February 2022. He performed as part of the International Childrens Festival’s Family Encounters Event taking place in the National Museum of Scotland. He is also developing one of his own works, one being his Bridge Week show that was his final performance in RCS, newly titled “I Wasn’t Okay”. He has since performed scratches at Manchester Contact and Tron Theatre Glasgow.

The Nomad's Odyssey by Fin Ross Russell

Island Life Production's first on-stage production by its director Fin Ross Russell. This poetic solo play is both an adventure written on the road and a delicately intimate audience experience that uses the power of words to explore senses, memories and hope.

Apprentice by Catherine Bisset

James Williams has experienced a great deal for his young age. From being born under slavery conditions to becoming an apprentice in the plantations of Jamaica, Williams' life is about to change yet again. But this time, young James' experience could be life-changing for many more.


Inspired by Prof. Diana Paton's critical edition of James Williams' first-person account of experiences with slavery and the apprenticeship scheme that followed in Jamaica, Catherine Bisset's new play, Apprentice, offers to shed light on voices forgotten to time.
