THECLYDEIS RED:SEE MON 9. THEATRE. ‘We're calling ita Crawlurdtest within Maytest.‘ says George Byatt. whose poemplay‘The Clyde is Red' is being presented by Theatre Pktatthe Crawturd Theatre. The play is not alonethough~unlike previousyears. when productions atCrawturd Theatre have looked slightlylonely. this yearthe venue will hostan array of accompanying eventS—the ‘Crawturdtest' to which Byattreters.
Betore everypertormance there will bea tree extra of music (from classicalto jazz). poetry or comedytor the audience (including an appearancetrom comedian Arnold Brown) andthereis also a exhibition of new Scottish painting. chosen by Sandy Moflatand representing. Byatt feels. the nextwave atterthe original ‘vigorous imagination' artists. The exhibitionis in tune withthe
play in more ways than one — not only are the young artists Scottish. mostly Glaswegian. but theirstyle is trequently a development oisocialist-realism.
‘The Clyde is Red'. setin the future but reflecting strongly onthe present. deals with a time when Glasgow people learnto walk on water—a developmentthat distressesthe government considerably. whotake action. The play. which has wona Prixltalia,was written the yearThatcher came to power: ‘I would say itis now morerelevant.‘ says Byatt. He points out. though. that this is torthe audiencetodecide. They will be able to voicetheir opinion in the after-show discussionsthatalways iorm part oi Theatre Pkt's work. and that this time are part otthe whole ‘Crawiurdiest'. with its emphasis on makingthe audience really part oithe event.
