Cathy | Traverse Theatre

About

Eilidh Loan is a young Scottish writer.

Her first play, Moorcroft was a true story based upon her dad’s amateur football team and opened to critical acclaim when she directed it at the Tron in Glasgow.

Cathy is a new comedy inspired by her grandmother, and how she dealt with the grief in her unique way after losing her husband. Cathy, Eilidh’s grandmother, insisted that Elaine C Smith must play her and so she is.

Cathy is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
