02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
A Play, A Pie and A Pint Ltd seeks to produce and promote high quality new plays from Scotland, the UK and the rest of the world and to present them in an accessible way to the people of Scotland. We concentrate on quality writing, directing and performance. Our plays intend to entertain, educate and inform audiences by exploring a wide range of subject matters. We aim to collaborate with the best artists, co-presenters and venues in Scotland and from other parts of the UK and internationally. We support artists right through their careers, presenting work from new and mid-career artists as well as producing the work of established writers, directors and actors. the core principles remain steadfast: to present a new play every week at lunchtime which lasts for under an hour with a pie and a pint included in the price of every ticket. A Play, a Pie and a Pint produces 30+ new plays a year across two seasons at Oran Mor in the west end of Glasgow.
