About

Tandem is a writing collective established and run by playwrights, Jennifer Adam, Amy Hawes and Mhairi Quinn. We travel between Edinburgh and Glasgow linking up with creatives on the grassroots theatre scene.

Tandem has new writing at its heart. The collective was formed to create and perform short topical pieces of experimental theatre in a style ‘similar to that of a restaurant taster menu’ – so not too much of one thing and definitely always something for everyone. Each play is then washed down beautifully by the accompaniment of live music from talented local musicians.

The aim of each show is to deliver our sell-out audiences with razor-sharp theatrical stories that will be both thought-provoking and entertaining. Let us take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride into the lives of our unique characters who can be found in both natural and abstract situations.

If there is one thing we pride ourselves on that is creating a fresh, fun and varied night out at the theatre for all! So, come on then! Get your tickets booked! Just follow the links on our home page.

Thank you for supporting new writing.

Mhairi, Amy and Jennifer
