The Jolly Folly of Polly

Lesley Ross

Five bite-size pieces of theatre that deal with perception: the characters in these theatrical hors d’oeuvres find their view of themselves at odds with the way the rest of the world sees them. Bittersweet and highly original, these ‘mini marvels’ cleverly break down the barrier between audience and actor, whether it’s backstage at an opera, lost in the mind of would-be film-maker Margaret, or on a flight of freedom with air stewardess Polly (the Dundee Dyke who is neither lesbian nor from Dundee).
