The Perfect Pie

One of Scotlands foremost actresses Maureen Beattie directs Perfect Pie by Judith Thompson for Stellar Quines, the company that recently brought you the critically acclaimed productions of The Memory of Water (An insightful and witty joy you'd be a fool to miss Metro) and Three ThousandTroubled Threads (Edinburgh International Festival 2005). "I will not forget you, you are carved in the palm of my hand." A buried memory and two teenagers wild secret crash into the present in the course of an afternoons reunion between the long-estranged friends. Acclaimed Canadian playwright Judith Thompson serves up a slice of life about childhood, friendship and old secrets. While Patsy (played by Mary Keegan from The Memory of Water) marries a prosperous farmer and stays in the town she grew up in, wild-child Francesca follows the lights of the big city as a successful actress. As they re-visit their less than carefree childhoods, the two girls - now women - confront the choices they have made and a past secret. 18 March 2pm by a free informal post show discussion, chaired by Keith Bruce, Arts Editor The Herald with Maureen Beattie Post Show Discussion Thu 23 Mar Company Website www.stellarquines.com Perfect Pie is presented by Stellar Quines Theatre Company in association with The Byre Theatre and Perth Theatre Director: Maureen Beattie
