TAG presents The Monster In The Hall A new play by David Greig, at the Citizens and touring in Autumn 2010. Duck Macatarsney cares for her biker dad whose MS is getting increasingly bad. Her Dad - Duke - is a spliff smoking (for medicinal reasons you understand), bike riding, heavy metal loving, horror movie loving, pizza eating widower who’s brought up Duck since the death of her Mother in a crash. The two of them are just about surviving when one morning the Duke wakes up blind and the Duck hears that the Social Services are coming to take her away.
The Monster in the Hall follows Duck as she tries to protect her world from the terrifying prospect of change. A low budget indie comedy musical about a girl on the verge of a nervous breakdown played out by four actors and a big fat motorbike which goes vrrooommm. Hot off the press!

‘man-boy’still living at home with his long suffering mother who has
finally reached the end of her tether and shown him the door. Cue a
hilarious journey involving a wizard troll, a bad tempered giant and
one dafty’s battle with his own digestive system. Jock and the
Beanstalk is the previously untold tale of one big numpty, his highland
cow and piles upon piles of dung. “Where there’s muck, there’s laughs – piles ‘n’ piles of them…” The Herald Tickets & Information: 01383 602 302 or www.attfife.org.uk Even more choice The Young Audiences search engine offers even more choice.
