Eilidh Loan is a young Scottish writer. Her first play, Moorcroft was a true story based upon her dad's amateur football team, and opened to critical acclaim when she directed it at the Tron in Glasgow. Cathy is a new comedy inspired by her grandmother, and how she dealt with the grief in her unique way after losing her husband. Cathy, Eilidh's grandmother, insisted that Elaine C Smith must play her and so she is. Joining her will be Michele Gallager, Chloe Hodgson, Alan Orr and Sally Reid.
