Fleeto

Written and directed by Paddy Cunneen

Two boys

One murder

Two victims

When his friend is stabbed, a young lad from a housing scheme falls in with a gang.

The terrible revenge he takes at random brings disaster on himself and the family of his victim.

Inspired by The Iliad and drawing on contemporary Glasgow's so called "knife culture" Fleeto is a hard-hitting contemporary Scottish re-invention of the Greek tragic form. Using appropriately strong language it is by turns frightening and deeply moving, provoking much  thought and debate on the issue of violence in our communities.

"A powerful and beautifully produced short play for Scotland today" Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman

Funded by the Scottish Arts Council, 'Fleeto' is 55 minutes in length (with no interval) and contains very strong language; it is not suitable for young people under the age of 16. The performances will also feature young adults from the local community / Carnegie College Senior Youth Theatre Group.
