Gagarin Way is the sensational debut play by young Dunfermline writer Gregory Burke, a cruel but hilarious black comedy about a human heist gone horribly wrong. Following its unprecedented success at the Traverse during last year's Edinburgh Festival, and an extended sell-out run at Royal National Theatre, Gagarin Way transferred to the Arts Theatre in London's West End in February this year. This stunning production now returns to Scotland prior to a transfer to Sweden and New York - don't miss it this time!

 

Gregory Burke's blistering, brilliant, crazily confident first play ... a ton of theatrical dynamite ... John Tiffany's tight production is as clever as the play, and it is acted with electrifying brilliance by a cast who know that this is the real thing and no fraud
(THE GUARDIAN)

A sensational debut ... Slick, funny, original and violent, and above all it is grippingly theatrical
(THE DAILY TELEGRAPH)

An extraordinary first play ... tough, sardonic, nimble and brutally funny, and the acting matches it superbly
(SUNDAY TIMES)
