1. SweetScar: 4.48 Psychosis

A trip to the dark place, courtesy of one of the few writers who has experimented with language after Beckett. Notebooks out, plagiarists.

2. Stephen Petronio Company: Bloom

Inspiration to Scottish Ballet, blender of camp and perfect technique, Petronio offers his latest collaborations with Rufus Wainwright in another Glasgay! special.

3. Mary Rose
Lyceum, 24 October- 15 November
Peter Pan author's atypical ghost story, dusted off and spruced up by Tony Cownie. Edwardian in style, but promising modern chills.

various venues across Scotland

Good humoured dance, intensity, live music onstage: Alston is England's contemporary laureate.
