Impact

Premiered at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival (under the title Glasgow ‘14)

In Sally Lewis’ powerful and evocative new play, Neil Gwynne plays four men who were there on the day when many lives were changed forever. A crash of such proportions that it made national headlines, cannot help but affect the lives of all of those that witnessed it.

But what if your life was a difficult one before this event? Does such a public tragedy help you overcome your troubles? Or make them worse? Or, ultimately, make no change to it whatsoever?

Directed at Edinburgh by Benet Catty, Impact gives four men an opportunity to talk, an opportunity which they had never previously had, and asks the question: what next?
