Full Circle

Skeletons come tumbling out of the closet at a wedding in Stirling Theatre’s latest offering.

Written by Janet Shaw and directed by Barry Lefort, Full Circle is a black comedy spanning four decades – Dee and Millie haven’t spoken since 1969 and nobody knows why.

Fate took over when their children met and married, forcing them to tolerate each other on social occasions and avoid one another the rest of the time.

When they turn up for their granddaughter’s wedding, plans unravel and a spiral of destruction weaves it way through the proceedings – leading back to what happened that fateful day 40 years ago.

“I have read a few plays by Janet Shaw and really like the way she writes about life in modern families,” Barry said.

“She captures the comedic, dramatic and sometimes sad aspects of them.

“Full Circle has all these elements and gives the cast an opportunity to portray these characters as if in real life.

“This show, in particular, reminds me so much of some of the gatherings we had with my family in England.”
