Description

Static is the story of a young woman who has lost her husband. Discovering a compilation tape that he made but never gave her, she becomes convinced it contains a secret message. What could the tape mean - and is he trying to communicate with her from beyond the grave Static fuses music, dialogue, sign language and audio description to explore our complex response to love and loss. It is steeped in a love of music from Sonic Youth to The Smiths, The Ramones to the Rakes and from Girls Aloud to the Goodies (we've all got guilty pleasures). Static opened at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow in February 2008, in a production by Suspect Culture and Graeae Theatre Company.
