About this audio guide
This guide to Tramway on Glasgow's Southside starts with a nine-hour play and two people from Glasgow who went to Zurich with an offer that had no money in it. It takes in the old Coplawhill tram shed, the Museum of Transport that once filled it, and the English director Peter Brook, who came looking for a room where life had passed through. Best heard standing in the long main hall, built for trams long before it held actors.
