Tilly works there. Francis finds himself there. Michelle is always there. Seeking more than just a coffee or a roll, Francis meets Michelle, and the two immediately do not hit it off. Navigating bad social skills, awkward conversations and uncomfortable silences, they each secretly hope to find some commonalty in an increasingly isolating world. Cafe325 explores community, loneliness and the need for connection in modern day Scotland.?: 07:55 PM - 08:20 PM'Patriot' by Shelley Middler & Panel FeedbackInfo: Inspired by Alasdair Gray's Poor Things and the thematic influence of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, PATRIOT is a one-woman show that explores the shifting landscape of working- class communities, with a particular focus on East Lothian. Through the voice of local woman, Izzy, the play captures the quiet devastation of being priced out of your own future and of loving a place that no longer seems to have room for you. PATRIOT interrogates what happens when communities fracture and identity is pushed to the brink, but in the aftermath of upheaval, it asks a quieter, more difficult question: can change be reclaimed, and shaped into something worth holding onto??: 08:20 PM - 08:40 PMIntervalInfo: Grab, a drink, nip to the loo, join in our fundraising games?: 08:40 PM - 09:05 PM'Mr Squiffles' by Dylan Mooney & Panel FeedbackInfo: Everything's gone wrong for Gary. He's hit rock bottom and doesn't know what to do. All seems lost until his childhood imaginary friend, Mr. Squiffles, appears in his tiny flat with the sole purpose of getting him back on track. The play is all about the difficulties of working-class life, especially in the so-called 'cost of living crisis', while also triumphing in the face of defeat.?: 09:05 PM - 09:30 PM'Common Ground' & Panel FeedbackInfo: Skylark populations in Edinburgh are rapidly declining and Nigel feels like the only person on earth who gives a flying f*ck.
