Inspired by the life and times of Ian Dury, Raspberry is a juicily gothic piece of music theatre
that muses on the idea of perfection and perfectability.
In its opening weeks in Scotland we had sell out audiences and rave reviews...
here’s just a few:
Disability Arts Online reviewed the show last week and they said:
“I’d rate Garry Robson’s ‘Raspberry’ as one of the finest pieces of disability arts I’ve seen this century. Certainly in terms of theatre performances I’ve rarely seen anything that matches it.”

What the press said last week:
The Times’
‘’…the brilliance of its performers and the integrity of its script…Robson, blazingly charismatic…’’
The Guardian
‘’…Robson himself plays Dury…with the kind of acerbic wit…plus a warm charm that is all his own…’’
The Stage
‘’…Raspberry aggressively attacks ideas about disability with sharp cynicism and a dose of sentimentality. ..”
The Herald
‘’…Jem Dobbs is toweringly obdurate and yet sadly wretched as the Dad, who only wants Raspberry (Christine Bruno) to be perfect…’’
‘’…A roguishly droll Robson wheels on-stage…unleashes a swaggering flow of broadsides against society’s way of defining a person by their disease…’’
Oi! Oi!
