TAGlines is the result of a unique collaboration between three groups of young writers from the Traverse Theatre, The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen and Portree High School, Isle of Skye. Over the past year TAG Theatre Company and BBC Radio have been working with these three groups to create plays for both radio and stage.

The results of this commission will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 17 March 2003 and performed on stages around the country during the same week. Dealing with the themes of identity, belonging and growing up, each of the groups, aged from 14 to 24 have explored different episodes in the life of a young man leaving home, heading off to university, facing a whole new world. These intertwined, interconnected stories showcase the talents of some of Scotland’s writers of the future.


TAGLINES HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE SCOTTISH BOOK TRUST WRITERS IN SCOTLAND SCHEME, THE BBC AND THE SCOTTISH ARTS COUNCIL.
