Scotland faces a crisis. As the nation grapples with a devastating drug death toll, the voices of those impacted are rarely heard. Through immersive story-telling Concerned Others dares to shine a light on this hidden epidemic.  


Scotland has the highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe. One of the highest rates per head of population in the world. In communities across the country, families, loved ones, and clinicians support people experiencing substance dependency.


Multi-award-winners Tortoise in a Nutshell present Concerned Others, an intimate tabletop performance that shares the stories of critically underheard voices. Accounts that paint us as a nation struggling to fully recognise a culture of judgement, ignorance and misunderstanding surrounding addiction and substance-related death. 


Immersive soundscapes, shoebox installations, turntables, micro-projection and 32mm figures combine to create a multi-textured piece exploring a defining crisis. 

 

Age Guidance: 14+ themes including drugs. Features recordings of lived perspectives regarding drug abuse.
