Shining Souls
Author(s):
Chris Hannan
"Shining Souls is very funny indeed. Consider the odd characters who people Hannan's play. Ann plans to marry someone called Billy this very afternoon, but isn't sure yet whether it will be the big, dim Billy who shared her bed last night or the small, romantic Billy who has just turned up with a bunch of flowers. Compulsive gambler Charlie cons a tenner from his estranged wife by pretending he has a terminally sick mother to visit, only to discover that the old lady really is dying. Add Nanette, who runs a stall selling secondhand records nobody wants, and her friend, Prophet John, an Old Testament babbler, and you have Hannan's Glasgow in all its frantic disorder." (The Times, London) "Shining Souls is a joy. Hannan has a marvelous gift for comedy, and endows his incisively drawn cast with blissfully funny demonic dialogue... Hannan 's achievement is to combine hilarity with heartache... and the souls of his characters really do seem to shine." (Daily Telegraph, London). Area staging.
