Shortlisted for the Brighton Fringe Emerging Talent Award 2013 at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Maggie is just in from Sainsbury's Local to make a quick sandwich for Jamie. He likes his cheese and pickle. With the crusts off. A good heart, that lad. Not like those other boys around here. You know what boys are like. Laws unto themselves once they reach that age. But it's those other boys, really. Not Jamie. A boy with a Batman lunch box? What harm is he to anybody?
Co-written by AJ Taudevin and Kieran Hurley, "Chalk Farm" explores love, responsibility, and the culture of blame and retribution surrounding the 2011 English riots.
"The writing is brilliant, sharp, poetic, passionate, full of searing insight into the politics of blame, matched with a brilliant eye for the detail of life in divided Britain today." "Scotsman"
"This deceptively simple two-hander comes courtesy of Kieran Hurley and AJ Taudevin, two of Scotland's rising new writing stars." "Guardian"
"A tender study of the complicated relationship between a single parent and her son... it has a beautiful heart." "Time Out" (London)
"Most effective in making us rethink our knee-jerk assumptions." "Guardian"
"The end result is a not-to-be missed piece of dynamite that succeeds in making the political personal, and vice-versa... The writing crackles with energy and insight." "Herald Scotland"
""Chalk Farm" is an exciting attempt to understand and explain the riots that could be even bolder in examining the vitriol behind the accusations..... a wonderfully-written and thoughtfully-acted piece." "British Theatre Guide"

"I'm not going to tell you her hair colour. Her skin colour. Her name. All you need to know, right now, is that she is a person." An explosive new piece of guerilla-gig-theatre from Julia Taudevin ('one of the most exciting forces in Scottish theatre' Scotsman) and Kim Moore with Susan Bear and Julie Eisenstein from Glasgow's hottest indie-pop duo Tuff Love. This fierce and playful feminist work explores the psychology of extremism with haunting melodies and progressive punk riffs.

'...Like the albatross, we need a safe place we can be. But somewhere we're together, my Mama and my me...' High up in a Glasgow tower block, ten-year-old Star and her mother await the outcome of their claim for asylum. As Mama's mind fragments under the pressure of their unknown future, Star constructs a poetic and fantastical world of her own. Some Other Mother is a story of loss and survival, which explores the traumatising impact of the asylum system, regardless of the outcome.
