On the eve of a High Court appeal, a desperate reporter is offered an exclusive in the top-floor flat of a Springburn tower block - one that could revive his career, but set a guilty man free. First he must listen to a story which could change the world, told by an old woman who claims she is not of it.
This event will be BYOB (one beverage per person.)

Press
"What follows over the next hour of Alan Muir's play is a devilish debate that tests the moral fibre of each participant. As things take a multitude of fantastical twists and turns, the action enters the realms of supernatural cult fiction and psychological thriller."
"In a high-rise flat in Glasgow, a journalist (Derek Banner) enters under the guise of concern for an elderly woman, pretending he is from the council. He questions her living circumstances and tries to discover what her story is. The woman (Angela T Edgar) reveals a shocking truth to him and shakes his reality."
"Morning Star brings an intriguing close to the Play of The Week season with its dystopian vision, demonstrating that Theatre 118 is thoroughly willing to take risks. That is truly refreshing for their effervescent energy is precisely what the Glasgow theatre scene needs right now. And on this evidence, it is working: reaching talented playwrights, brilliant actors, and appreciative audiences. If Theatre 118 can achieve this level of excitement and sheer dazzle in a few short months of existence, think what they might have to offer next season."
