Spin!

Vanishing Point Unplugged
A co-production with An Tobar and Mull Theatre

SPIN!

Spin! is Vanishing Point’s latest ‘Unplugged’ touring show, following the success of The Dark Carnival: Unplugged and The Metamorphosis: Unplugged.

A woman can hear a voice coming from her brand-new washing machine. When she talks to it - to her surprise - it talks back, and it’s surprisingly good conversation. 

The woman and the machine hit it off, but soon it seems that this new high-tech, environmentally friendly best friend knows a little bit too much about her - who her neighbours are, what her husband does for a living and how many children she has. It knows what she eats, what brand of toothpaste she uses and who she votes for. It’s not long before she is swirling around in a divisive world, and the machine is threatening to do more than air her dirty laundry.  

Spin! is a darkly humorous and satirical show about wishing, washing and information warfare. Join us for a great night out of comic theatre, cake and a complimentary (but not compulsory!) drink. 


★★★★ MacLeod’s direction is as wacky as her writing and she draws amusing turns from both Louise Haggerty as the unhappy Pauline and Andrew Keay as the omniscient SuperMax 3000.

★★★★ A gorgeous 70 minutes of theatre
— The Scotsman
★★★★ Mechanical patter soon turns to soft soap soothing before Pauline ends up in even more hot water than she bargained for
