Solace
by Rhiannon Tise
John
Huxford, stand-up comedian, is attempting to restart his once
glistening career. The only thing holding him back is the
nightly visits from his dead brother Luke. His oldest friend
Campbell should be the place to turn but can he trust him?
Childhood loyalties are called into question and memories
revisited as two brothers, torn apart by family lies, are
reunited by death.

'Matt
Podmore makes an outstanding acting debut as the nervy Campbell'
The Glasgow Herald
'Tise
is a dab hand at creating unsettling situations in which nothing
is quite what it seems...Rebecca Hurst's set and Michael Winship's
sound are both impressively evocative.
