BAFTA-award winning actor Juliet Cadzow in Italian Cafe in Glasgow
Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is to celebrate 25 years of the classic Scots play Tally’s Blood, written by GCU Professor Ann Marie Di Mambro, with a reading starring University Cultural Fellow and BAFTA-award winning actor Juliet Cadzow. Ms Cadzow and Ms Di Mambro were photographed at the traditional University Café, Byres Road, Glasgow, similar to the Scots-Italian café in which much of the play is set. School students from across the west of Scotland will join the audience for a sold-out reading of the play – which brings to life a key text in the National 5 curriculum – at GCU on February 24. The compelling story of an Italian immigrant family’s often challenging experiences in Scotland before, during and after the Second World War, Tally’s Blood explores racism, love and family loyalty with humour and warmth. Jan Hulme, University Secretary and Vice Principal, said: “GCU is delighted to be hosting this reading of a classic Scots play by a GCU Professor and starring a University Cultural Fellow. The reading is a celebration of the vibrant cultural life of GCU and an exploration of part of our rich Scottish heritage, while the play’s issues of migration resonate with one of the greatest political challenges of today.” Presented in collaboration with Playwrights Studio Scotland and Sell A Door Theatre Company, and performed script in hand, the reading will be directed by Julie Ellen, Artistic Director of the Macrobert Arts Centre at the University of Stirling.
