__________________________________
Claude and Mathieu are brothers. Claude is successful in love, Mathieu's never kissed a girl. Mathieu is successful professionally and used to getting what he wants. Claude is unemployed and at the end of his tether as he slips from one McJob to the next. Mathieu has cerebral palsy. Claude is turning 30 and having his mid-life crisis early.
Then Claude meets Charlotte. So does Mathieu. When she moves into the brothers' flat, everything becomes complicated. Very complicated. Even more complicated when Mathieu offers Claude a deal that no brother should. A deal no brother should accept.
15 Seconds is a provocative and touching comedy about love and brotherhood from one of Québec’s most up and coming playwrights, François Archambault, winner of Canada's Governor-General's Prize for Drama 1998. The Scots English version, by Isabel Wright, was commissioned under the Traverse's Playwrights in Partnership programme, and, along with Mr Placebo, illustrates the breadth of talent of one of Scotland's brightest young playwrights.

“We’re all different. That’s what makes us all the same. I live the same way you live. I was born, I live and one day I’ll die. I eat, not very well, but I eat.”
“Why can’t I just find the right woman? It’s such a bugger. I mean, what are your chances of finding the right woman? One in fifty? One in two hundred? One in a thousand? A million? Maybe there’s only one woman for me? A girl who shares the same ideas, tastes, hopes, rhythm of life... Where the hell is she? A girl like me.”
