Breathtaking Roads written by Ryan Hay and Directed by Caitlin Skinner in association with Stellar Quines Theatre Company.

Set over 3 years in 2015 two older lesbian bikers walk in to a small bar and hotel in the Highlands of Scotland. Helen and Jane on holiday, Helen knows the bar well it's owned by her ever absent brother and staffed by her niece Marie.

Marie has cut their hair short, the drinks are poured and stories of Helens younger life are told. She once had a fling with the lead singer of The Runaways after their 1977 Glasgow Apollo gig. For some reason the air between Marie and Jane seems cold.

A year passes and once again Helen and Jane rock in, this time to be informed Marie is now Ruari once again late drinks are had Helen rather than being a supportive and welcoming Auntie to Ruari she along with Jane seem colder than ever. After a few home truths are told after copious whisky Helen rides her bike out, something she would never have done in the past. 

2017 arrives and once again Helen arrives Ruari is home to help set up the summer season, again his Dad is away at the cash and carry. Helen arrives alone, Ruari thinks Jane has left, she hasn't, in fact Helen has a ring, this visit her amazing Harley has been sold and she is on her cruiser. She seems more grounded and happier for Ruari making sure they are OK financially. 

Lots happen in this play and nothing happens too. It's directed in what seems a deliberate slow burn. As if time almost stands still in the Inn but big changes happen to those caught in its walls.

I found it strange that Lesbian aunties found having a queer nephew, so distant I would have thought they would have been the first to accept them.

If they found their easiness in coming out difficult as they lived through the hard times, this was never mentioned. 

The cast Ros Watt ( Ruari) Liz Kettle ( Helen) and Jill Riddiford (Jane) are all excellent almost stalking round each other but never opening up enough.

There is no LGB without T, I hope this play does give the empathy, mentioned in the programme. 

Don't take my word for it, get a ticket up to Saturday.
