Un - Expecting Review A Play A Pie and A Pint Glasgow

 

Cristian Ortega and Cindy Awor take the leads in this excellent comic and sometimes hard hitting play by Nathan Scott Young, a one night stand becomes life changing. 

 

Scott and Jess meet in a nightclub over New Year, Scott on holiday from a music degree in London, guitar and harp. Jess about to start a history and Drama Degree. They hit it off and one thing leads to another Jess is pregnant. The play navagates these young peoples lives, Scott desperate not to make the mistakes his father made. Jess putting up with scornful comments by older women in the shops. It's not an easy time, at some points we wonder, will it last, although we very much hope it will.

 

The script written by Nathan Scott Young is wonderful, often rhyming it's funny and can turn to hard hitting in a heartbeat.

 

Cristian Ortega and Cindy Awor are outstanding as the young couple struggling with the responsibility, not quite yet in love but desperate to do the best for the child.

 

This 60 mins is practically perfect, the best cast a great script and directed with flair.

 

Ends Saturday so go tomorrow and enjoy.
