The Ducky

Two years is a long time in a teenager's life...

Michelle is home from university to spend some time with her great-gran while she can... Minnie Malloy is dying. In spite of the circumstances she's glad to be back - university isn't all it's cracked to be. Same people, same pubs, same Clare’s Accessories - Michelle isn't having the experience she was promised.

Rab is back from Cambridge and now Stewarton feels alien to him. Which is funny because Rab feels like he's at university on the moon with Martians. Norma has left school and is sweeping up hair in Krazy Kutz while she works out what to do.

It isn't as easy as it seems - working out what to do, not sweeping up hair!

The Ducky is about love and death, families, homecoming and growing-up and realising that nothing is forever.
...and it is very funny!

The sequel to 2008's award winning production of DC Jackson's
The Wall

Written by DC Jackson and directed by Jemima Levick. Designed by Becky Minto and lighting design by Jeanine Davies

side-splitting humour and excellent dialogue ... The Ducky while set locally, has universal appeal ... The Metro****

The Ducky is every bit as funny as its predecessor ... The Herald ****

There's much to enjoy in The Ducky, the second instalment - following last year's success with The Wall - of D.C. Jackson's thoughtful tale about growing up in small-town Ayrshire... The Scotsman ****

...packing tender home-truths behind a shield of first-rate one-liners ... Roll on part three ... The Guardian ****
