About the event

Looking for a way out of their humdrum lives in the outskirts of Glasgow, straight-laced Sean, fresh from dropping out of uni, and the gallus Daro, overflowing with charisma and business "acumen", reckon they can be the dream team of frozen treats and buy a luxury ice cream van. In the Scottish dramatic tradition of Passing Places and Midsummer, join them for a story of friendship, finances and flakes. Enjoy a warm journey across Scotland as two friends discover what it takes to survive in the chilly world of cold confectionary.

This play was written by a graduate from our MSc Playwriting programme, Laurie Motherwell.

Are you interested in our MSc in Playwriting?

Our taught masters programme is a highly practical and immersive introduction to the theatre scene in Edinburgh, Scotland and internationally. It focuses on the craft of writing for performance, and on how a script plays out in real space and time in front of an audience. You’ll be assessed through a combination of portfolio work, essays and your final dissertation - a full-length play. This will be written with the advice of the Programme Director - a professional playwright - and developed through workshops and readings with a professional director and actors.
