Tron theatres Fruitcake

BCDC is hosting Tron theatre and Glasgow life’s collaboration to tour their show Fruitcake by Frances Poet

Fruitcake is a romcom for the existentially weary. Can we dare to hope, in the face of daily doomsday scenarios, that we might be able to change our world for the better? 

 It’s been a long time since things have been right between best pals Holly and Mikey, who all but disappeared during the pandemic. Holly still hasn’t forgiven him for being AWOL when her mum was dying, so when Mikey demands she return the Maroon 5 CD she leant him over a decade ago, she’s not best pleased. Anger turns into concern though when she finds why Mikey has been hiding away. He is convinced that he is a modern day Nostradamus and that he predicted not just the pandemic, but Holly’s mum’s cancer. Holly thinks Mikey needs an urgent medical intervention but Mikey hasn’t got time for that. He’s seen a vision of a catastrophe worse than anything that’s come before and he needs Holly’s help to stop it.
