Wendy Hoose @ Tron Glasgow

Birds of Paradise and Random Accomplice collaborate for the first time on Wendy Hoose, a comedy about sex, and, to paraphrase the poster, the difficulties of getting your leg over. 

Directed by the witty duo of Robert Softley Gale and Johnny McKnight, the production contains strong language and scenes of a sexual nature as it follows the entertaining adventures of Laura (Amy Conachan) and Jake (James Young) in their attempts to get sex late on a Friday night. Unfortunately for the pair, late night drunken sex (no strings attached) isn't always as easy to get as expected. 

This is the first production Gale undertakes as one of the new artistic directors for Birds of Paradise. It's also the professional debut for Amy Conachan, currently a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS). And what a debut; a comedy about sex with two theatre companies and directors that make some of the most innovative work in Scotland. What's more, it will tour Scotland throughout March from the Tron in Glasgow to Paisley Arts Centre, Stirling's Macrobert, Aberdeen's Lemon Tree, the Lochgelly Centre in Fife, Achmore Hall (near Stromeferry), Eden Court in Inverness, ending up at the studio of the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh. 

As Gale himself said: "When planning the first production under the new artistic team at Birds of Paradise, it was clear that we had to be bold – and they don't come much bolder in Scotland than Random Accomplice."
