THE BOOKIE

Cumbernauld Theatre Company present the world premiere of an electric new Scottish musical by acclaimed writer Douglas Maxwell, with all the glitz and glamour of Vegas... Scottish style!

Welcome to Quarry - The Las Vegas of Scotland!  Or at least it might be…. Right now it’s just another run down Scottish sea-side town, a dirty weekend for stag-do’s, hen nights and dangerous divorcees.

Life’s an endless one horse race for local betting shop bookie Stevie Gillespie. He doesn’t know it but his life’s about to miraculously change because Leo Queen’s back in town. Leo Queen, a self-made man with self-made plans and a hundred scores to settle. Queenie to his friends and simply That Git to his enemies, he’s putting his money where his mouth is by building a brand spanking new casino. 

The kilts are off, the chips are down in this fantastic musical tale of love and money, guilt and gambling, tears and tantrums and triumphs.

"A FANTASTIC NEW SCOTTISH MUSICAL - CATCH IT NOW BEFORE IT'S ON BROADWAY!"
