Female-led and female-produced, PALS is a Scottish adventure-comedy play telling the story of four, crude, chaotic yet completely normal gal pals as they embark on a camping trek in the west of Scotland. In a bid to escape their lives, have a riotous time and avoid several mental breakdowns, these "Perfectly Average Lassies of Scotland" are completely out of their depths, in more ways than one. PALS premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 and was long-listed for the Binge Fringe Queer Performers Award and deemed as 'the sort of show we've been waiting for' (CorrBlimey.co.uk).
