Come for a walk through the dark streets of Glasgow, leaving George Square at midnight on Hogmanay. In between gatecrashed parties, salacious seductions, a vicious murder, an escape from a psychopathic drug dealer, naked stargazing from a tower block, loathsome advertising hoardings, casual muggers, a woman in childbirth and riding a taxi with no driver, a young man chooses his Desert Island Discs and writes imaginary letters to his estranged family as he takes the long walk home. This bizarre trip into the surreal is a sparkling debut from Drew Campbell. At once playful, funny and bleak, Dead Letter House is a long night's journey through the universe, life and time.
