A team. A team of wit? A team of players. A bunch of mates coming the gither to huv a kick aboot. Wits new?
Garry's turned 50 but doesn't feel like celebrating. Exhausted from years spent wrapped in regret, he begins to relive 'the glory days', trying to understand his mistakes, answer questions and right some wrongs in a bid to make peace with his past and find renewed purpose.
Inspired by true stories, Eilidh Loan's Moorcroft follows a group of young lads in search of an escape from their working class lives. But can playing football save them from the challenges they face and make them the men they want to be? With true friendship and the tenacity of working class people at its heart, Moorcroft explores male mental health in Scotland and asks 'What is a real man?'
After a sell-out and critically acclaimed run at the Tron Theatre in 2022, Moorcroft returned for a Scottish tour. This edition was published to coincide with the Tron Theatre run in July 2023 and subsequent National Theatre of Scotland tour in October 2023.
