The critically acclaimed, multi award-winning production 'When We Were Young' is set to arrive at Airdrie Town Hall on Sunday, September 27, offering audiences a powerful, emotional, and often hilarious exploration of Glasgow's youth culture in the 1990s.
Back by Popular Demand
Returning due to popular demand, the five-star show delves beyond the tabloid stereotype of 'neds' to present the realities of gang culture and the young team mentality that defined Glasgow during that era. The production follows the lives of one of the many young teams who populated the city's streets at a time when Glasgow was infamously known as the 'Murder Capital of Europe.'
Performance Details
The performance begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are priced at £18, with a concession rate of £16. For more information or to book tickets, audiences can contact the box office team at 01698 274545 or visit the official website at https://www.northlanculture.co.uk/event/when-we-were-young/.
