Concerned Others – a table-top theatre performance like no other

Scotland has one of the highest rates of drug-related deaths in the world. Behind every statistic are people, families and communities carrying the impact.

Concerned Others, from award-winning theatre company Tortoise in a Nutshell, brings these often unheard stories to life through an intimate and powerful tabletop performance.

Using miniature worlds, projection and immersive sound, it explores the experiences of people affected by substance dependency – from families and caregivers to healthcare professionals and those living with addiction.
