Expensive Shit gets quite the airing in March. The project started life as a theatre production at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, where it won a Fringe First award, and takes us inside a Glasgow nightclub to tell the story of a Nigerian toilet attendant who has an extremely tough decision to make.

“We have been able to let our programme respond to both the virtual context as well as the wider conversations and collective needs that have come into focus over this pandemic,” says Sanne Jehoul, GSFF s co-director. “That has led to a programme which offers audiences more flexibility and complementary elements, such as our podcast episodes which provide additional context for and engagement wit
