Collateral Damage

Without Compromise Theatre • Professional company

50 minutes•Stephenson Theatre
'You can’t force someone to open up, can you?' In the aftermath of tragedy, a mother drowns her sorrows, one daughter lashes out at the world, while another soldiers on through the storm. The Laing family have been through thick and thin together but now lead separate lives. In the wake of Alex Laing’s release from prison, can they mend the rift between them, or have some wounds been cut too deep? Collateral Damage is a new-writing drama, tackling themes of generational trauma, mental health and recovery, through the lens of working class and queer Scottish women.
