The Trick Is to Keep Breathing

'Remembering and forgetting are the same bloody thing. He is not alive anymore. That's all there is to know.'

Joy Stone is reeling. Blindsided by the deaths of her mother and lover, nothing makes sense anymore, and everything begins to unravel. Joy takes us inside her mind as she fights to stay away from the edge with wit, grit and ever-present gallows humour that revels in the absurdity of it all.

Adapted from Janice Galloway’s 1989 novel, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing is a brave and powerful work, now widely regarded as a Scottish contemporary classic.

Two out of focus blurry women look to the sides whilst a blurry woman looks straight to camera. Red lighting.

The Young Team

‘You’re loyal Azzy Williams. You’re loyal to your mates. That’s good. You’ll no be runnin aboot wae that lot forever but, surely?'

Welcome to Scotland in 2005.

For Azzy, born and bred in North Lanarkshire, the Young Team Posse (YTP) seems to promise everything he could possibly want: excitement, community, freedom. It’s where boys become men, and he’s hungry to grow up.

Soon he’s rising up the ranks, showing the world what he’s made of. It’s fast, furious – and dangerous. Is the Young Team where Azzy belongs, or just where he’s ended up? Either way, the YTP is for life. Getting in is easy, not so finding a way back out…

Six shadowed figures stand on an overpass some point and gesture. Most of the image is yellow.

'You don’t just see Panto. Panto sees you.'
