The Chooky Brae by D C Jackson

It's Christmas day in Stewarton and Irene Gordon's struggling to get in the festive spirit. Her 18 year old daughter Norma's just had a baby, her ex-husband Gordon's just had a stroke and her eldest Barry's having a break down. Even the Dr Who Christmas special is disappointing. If this was a wonderful life she would receive some angelic intervention - instead she gets Rab McGuire, a gift-wrapped male sex aid and an escaped chicken that won't be stuffed. A new play about love, duty and free range fowl.

Borderline theatre's follow up to their smash hits THE WALL (**** The Herald, **** The Scotsman, **** Metro, **** The Guardian, **** The
Times, **** The List) and THE DUCKY (**** The Herald, **** The Scotsman, **** Metro, **** The Guardian, **** The List).

As funny as The Wall, as moving as The Ducky - the final chapter of The Stewarton trilogy, The Chooky Brae completes Norma, Rab and Barry's stories about growing up in small town Scotland and tells Irene and Gordon Gordon's - a story about duty, devotion and enduring love.

What the Press say

...an unashamed comedy, although not without its moments of poignancy.

Jackson (the playwright) is a devout believer in popular theatre and the art of giving an audience a good time.
