Mouthpiece - Reading

A gripping Traverse Theatre hit about class, culture and appropriation makes its return with this special reading as it prepares for the international stage, with returning cast Angus Taylor and Shauna Macdonald.

A reading of the award winning production, directed by Orla O’Loughlin, is revived for this special one off event by Katherine Nesbitt.

Having premiered as part of Traverse Festival 2019, Kieran Hurley's Mouthpiece received critical acclaim and won The Stage Edinburgh Award and the prestigious Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award. Frank, unflinching and threaded with unexpected humour, Mouthpiece takes a look at two different sides of Edinburgh that exist in ignorance of one another, and asks whether it’s possible to tell someone else’s story without exploiting them along the way.

This reading of Mouthpiece is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
