Glengarry Glen Ross, first known to many through the film starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey, is now being brought to life in its original stage form.
A powerful story made famous on film is coming to the stage at the Henderson Theatre in Shotts and this is a rare chance to see it live.
Glengarry Glen Ross, first known to many through the film starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey, is now being brought to life in its original stage form.
Seeing it live is more intense, more exciting, and much more real than watching it on screen.
Written by David Mamet, the play tells the story of a group of salesmen fighting to succeed. It is fast, tense, and often funny, with strong language and big emotions throughout.
This new production is performed by Sweet for Addicts Theatre Company.
Rehearsals are going very well, with the cast working hard to bring the story to life.
The show is directed by Mark Traynor, Artistic Director of Spotlight Shotts, who is leading the team to create a bold and exciting performance.

Mark said: “Glengarry Glen Ross is a thrilling piece of theatre—sharp, funny, and brutally honest. Seeing it live is a completely different experience from the film.
“It’s immediate, intense, and unforgettable. Experiencing the live show is more like being in the play that watching it. You can hear the actors breathe.
“We’re excited to bring something this powerful to audiences in Shotts.”
Spotlight Shotts is a recently formed Community Interest Company and not for profit organisation, formed in 2023 by local residents who want to provide access for people of all ages from Shotts and the surrounding villages to the best local performers plus theatre, music and art normally accessed in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
