About this ebook
High summer in Glasgow’s Southside and a heatwave bears down on the residents of Govanhill, driving them off the streets. Tensions are running high and fantasy and reality are becoming blurred. Fighting to reclaim their neighbourhood, the lives of a sleep-deprived new parent and his civic-minded wife begin to unravel. Meanwhile an ambitious Hutchie boy, a pair of young missionaries, a performance artist and her alter ego and an unscrupulous property manager, are forced to confront their monsters. Fever Dream: Southside is a surreal comic thriller and major new production by Glasgow-based writer Douglas Maxwell.
About the author
Douglas Maxwell was born in 1974 in Girvan, a small town on the Ayrshire coast. For a decade he has been one of the most popular and produced playwrights in Scotland. 2010 saw three new plays tour Scotland and abroad: Promises Promises for Random Accomplice; The Miracle Man for the National Theatre of Scotland and a musical for Cumbernauld Theatre called The Bookie, with music by Aly Macrae. His iconic play Decky Does A Bronco was also remounted by Gridiron for a major anniversary tour. The Scotsman called it 'one of the finest plays to emerge from a Scottish working-class story in the last ten years'. His version of Wedekind's Spring Awakening was also produced by Gridiron and The Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh.
