Alan Bissett: The Red Hourglass. Written and performed by Alan Bissett, directed and produced by Sacha Kyle. Glenfiddich Scottish Writer of the Year and 'rising star' (Scotsman), Alan Bissett, performs his first new work since his smash hit Moira Monologues. In The Red Hourglass Bissett plays five parts - three male, two female, none of them human, locked up together in a mysterious facility. This is a dazzling, witty and erotic tour de force from one of Scotland's most versatile talents.
