A new play inspired by Ferguslie and its community is getting set for a country-wide tour as it seeks to change attitudes around neighbourhoods painted in a bad light by poverty statistics.
Other Side of the River will bring theatre, food, song, bingo and karaoke to various locations in Scotland over the next couple of months.
Originally commissioned as part of Paisley’s City of Culture bid in 2021, the play focuses on a working class community determined to show that they are more than just negative statistics covered in media reports.
