The Ching Room

A pitch-black two-hander set in a toilet cubicle.Rory realises he is out of his depth once he becomes trapped by the terrifying and enigmatic drug-dealer, Darren.

Cast size: 2M.

"Has subtle depth as a meditation on drug culture... The character of Darren is a demon for our times." The Scotsman

"Exudes the same sort of self-assurance as Gregory Burke's debut,
Metro

"As tight as a short drama set in a toilet cubicle should be...A curiously compelling little play... A script riddled with priceless back-alley gems."The Herald

"It's exciting, totally absorbing theatre." City Life, Manchester

Turbo Folk

A sharp look at Scottish nationality at home and abroad. Set in the sort of bar you wouldn't take tourists to, in an unspecified Balkan country, Turbo Folk earned Bissett a nomination for Best New Play at the 2010 Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS).

Cast size: 3M.

"Tells its story with pace and economy and delivers a real and frightening dramatic punch... The games Bissett plays with language are dazzling."The Scotsman

Alan Bissett

Alan Bissett was born in Falkirk in 1975. His acclaimed first novel, BOYRACERS, published whilst he was still a student, was based on his adolescent experiences growing up there. His ambitious second novel, THE INCREDIBLE ADAM SPARK, was extraordinarily well received. A full-time writer and playwright, he has acted onstage in his own 'one-woman show', 'Times When I Bite', which was also adapted for film.

His plays 'The Ching Room', 'Turbo Folk' and 'The Moira Monologues' have all been recent stage successes. The Shutdown won two Jim Poole awards for Best Scottish Short Film 2009. Alan has also been a support act for Malcolm Middleton, The Vaselines and Zoey Van Goey. He currently is much in demand as a live performer of his own work.
