About
The central play in Byrne's 'Slab Boys Trilogy' (bracketed by 'The Slab Boys' and 'Still Life'), one of Scotland's defining 20th century literary works, 'Cuttin' a Rug' is set in Paisley Town Hall on a Friday evening in 1957, and highlights the theme of social inequality as the annual staff dance of A. F. Stobo & Co., Carpet Manufacturers, plays out. Its original version was premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 1979.
