Outriders

About


In celebration of International Workers' Day on May 1st, Playwrights' Studio went underground…

Take an hour out of your day and go on an audio journey on the Glasgow Subway to celebrate the working and artistic history of the city.

Wherever you are, hop on board and share the audio journey through working Glasgow and write, if you like, to the stories shared or the urban space evoked.
