A reading of a new play by Jack MacGregor. Having worked with the Traverse and The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh since the beginning of 2026, Jack’s new play about two fencers who come from very different worlds explores truth, obsession, and the fine line between ambition and self-destruction. This rehearsed reading, directed by the Traverse’s Artistic Director Gareth Nicholls (So Young, The Grand Old Opera House Hotel, Ulster American), and written during Jack's IASH/Traverse Playwriting Fellowship, marks your first chance to experience this new work as it progresses in its development.
