Remedy
As his thoughts move from prose to verse, Gareth unravels all that he has experienced during lockdown – from fear to frustration, to the potential hope that things may one day improve, so long as we can all pull together.
Directed by Sally Reid as part of Scottish Youth Theatre's 2020 Stories Project
It’s funny actually. (Beat.) It’s times like this I remember being a wee boy… The festive night of our own Hogmanay, A time where magic buzzed about the streets And warmed us like the fires in our home. The power of belief thrummed in our chests 39 (Or else it was the whiskey from before), That we would raise as one in equal mirth Then clash together, all while we belted out A hymn of new potential on our lips. A spotless page on which to make a start.
