Spine by Clara Brennan (The Green Room Productions - July 2019)
“Libraries are the cornerstone my gel! Course they want to shut ‘em, there’s nothin’ for sale! They’re
emblematic of all that is good about civilisation—free knowledge!”
Spine is the story of Amy, a wise-cracking teenager who
suspects she might have been relegated to life’s rubbish heap, and Glenda, the mischievous activist old woman with whom she strikes up an unlikely friendship. In a house stacked with books stolen from the dismantled local library, the two
women gorge on ideas and swell with anger. In this era of damaging cuts and disillusionment, has politics forgotten
people? Can we really take the power back? Amy is about to be forced to find out.
Winner of a Scotsman Fringe First Award 2015.
