Somewhere between the murk of Glasgow's dens of iniquity and the
polished drudge of suburbia lies the Pantheon Theatre. Here, the
mysterious Polly keeps the keys to panacea. Here, dashed hopes and
creeping fears effervesce, carried away with the roars of the crowd and
the help of her designer pharmaceuticals. Here, lives are lost, and
lives are remade to order.
Polly's clientele are all seeking
escape: from boredom, from misery, from guilt, above all, from
themselves. She can offer a nepenthe, she can chase away sorrow, but she
extracts a terrible price. Her customers may be on the brink, but the
show must go on.
