GOBSTOPPER

SKELF THEATRE CO. PRESENT GOBSTOPPER BY LEYLA AYCAN 🍬

Somewhere in small-town Scotland, an old man nearly chokes to death on a gobstopper, and chaos begins to unfold. Making one bad decision after another and armed with a natural knack for saying the wrong thing at precisely the worst moment, our protagonist learns that in her town, trouble doesn’t just come knocking - it kicks the door down.

With sharp humour and raw honesty, Gobstopper by Leyla Aycan is a punch-in-the-face tale of self-discovery, accountability, and the relentless request for redemption. This dark comedy reveals how our labels can both shape - and shatter - who we are.

SKELF IS A COLLABORATIVE THEATRE COMPANY BASED IN GLASGOW. OUR FOCUS IS TO CREATE THEATRE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF AUDIENCES, THAT IS HONEST, GRITTY AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING.

SKELF THEATRE CO WAS FORMED OUT OF NECESSITY. WE HAD IDENTIFIED A BLATANT LACK OF OPPORTUNITY IN THE TYPE OF WORK WE WERE ASPIRING TO MAKE. SO WE DECIDED ONE SUMMER, THAT WE WOULD DO IT OURSELVES.

AS A COMPANY, WE BELIEVE THAT ARTISTS, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND OR CIRCUMSTANCE, SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE A VARIETY OF CREATIVE DISCIPLINES. BECAUSE OF THIS, OUR TEAM IS CYCLICAL, ALLOWING US TO DEVELOP A VARIED SKILL-SET WHILST CREATING A NEW NETWORK OF ARTIST ALLIANCES AND CULTIVATING CREATIVE CONNECTION.
