Book NowAbout the show
Steel Antler Theatre and New Celts Productions bring this new-writing Scottish comedy drama to Space 3. After a failed attempt to get Oasis tickets, a group of friends meet for another night in the pub. Inspired by The Hardest Geezer's marathon, they decide to walk the Fife Coastal Path in the hope of achieving something in their lives. The show explores mental health, friendship and a love of the Scottish coast, asking whether this adventure will be enough to break their midlife crisis — or whether they have bitten off more than they can chew.
Why see this show?
A relatable Scottish comedy drama about friends trying to do something meaningful before it is too late. The Fife Coastal Path, The Hardest Geezer and a missed chance at Oasis tickets make for a very of-the-moment set of starting points.
