What's On Scotland 15-22 Feb: Into the New & more

A festival showcasing weird and wonderful theatre created by students in the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s Contemporary Performance Practice programme, Into the New is the place to see theatre like you’ve never seen before.

Running from 15-17 February at the CCA in Glasgow, this year you can catch the likes of Florence Logan’s tender, surreal fable Oh To Be a Snail, Jessica Paris’ insightful and mesmerising Grip, or Julienne Restall's dystopian sci-fi physical theatre show On Shifting Ground. Browse the full programme here – most shows are under an hour, so perfect for squeezing in between weekend activities, or take the day and back-to-back your favourites.
