Wallace
9th - 13th September 1pm

Through the medium of hip hop - basically folk music in caps not cardigans - three performers bring historical figures such as Robert the Bruce, Edward Longshanks, and Marion Braidfute to life as they retell the story of William Wallace from birth to his glorious death, and beyond...

What does it mean to be Scottish? Which stories get remembered – and why? And who even was William Wallace anyway?

Wallace is a new musical by Rob Drummond and Dave Hook that explores Scotland’s greatest icon: his heroic acts, his indomitable spirit, and his contested place on the spectrum between myth and history.

Our Brother
16th - 20th September

A radical Scottish professor meets with a merciless dictator. What is the price of utopia? Would you be willing to kill, or die, for it?

It’s 1978 and Cambodia is ruled by the ruthless Khmer Rouge. An idealistic academic from Stirling is invited into this closed society, enamoured by the regime and its promises of a better world.

Accompanied by an American photojournalist, the academic is given a rare audience with the secretive leader of the Khmer Rouge, a man they call ‘Brother’.

Inspired by a true story, Our Brother is a high-stakes political drama by Jack MacGregor about the language of denial, centring on a fateful interview with one of the bloodiest dictators of the 20th-century.

FEIS
23rd - 27th September

Selling used socks on the internet is not what Deirdre had planned, but it’s the only way to make dosh after her daughter Aoife lost the Irish World Dancing Championships and destroyed the reputation of the family’s prestigious dancing school.

When her well-meaning mother scares off the school’s last promising dancer, Deirdre calls Aoife, desperate for her daughter to dance once again and help save the family.

FEIS is a new dark comedy by Anna McGrath about Irish dancing, mothers and their daughters, and the importance of securing a win at any cost.

Cheapo
7th - 10th October

Cheapo: chess slang for a primitive trap, often set in the hope of swindling a win from a lost position.

After school at his local KFC, Jamie is setting up to play chess with his best pal as usual. But his class-mate Kyla turns up instead, forcing Jamie to play with her as she needs something from him that her whole life depends on.

As they place their pieces on the board, Jamie and Kyla also piece together the night that changed both of their lives, which is anything other than black and white.

Cheapo is a new high-stakes drama by Katy Nixon, current winner of the David MacLennan Award, about two teenagers growing up in a world that treats them like adults.

Maybe Tomorrow
14th - 18th October

Sian Silver has been on stage her whole life, with years in show business and countless seasons under her belt.

Now at the end of the pier (and her wits) in a dingy dressing room full of unrealised ambitions, there's still one dream she just can't shake.

Will she ever prove to herself that she's worth the role of a lifetime? And where even is Sunthorpe On Sea?

Maybe Tomorrow is a hilarious new musical by Brian James O'Sullivan and Hannah Jarrett-Scott about a faded starlet with dejected desires and abandoned aspirations.

Righ Iasgair: The Fisher King
28th October - 1st November

On the moors of the Isle of Lewis, strange things happen…

Lexie and Effie are best friends, but Lexie has a secret that she won't share, and Effie is determined to find out what it is.

Effie convinces her friend to set out across the moors and return to the loch where she and her father used to fish, in the hope that Lexie will open up to her. But a mist descends, and Lexie and Effie soon learn that they are not alone on the cold, dark moors of the Outer Hebrides.

Righ Iasgair: The Fisher King is a new folk thriller by Kenny Boyle based on the folklore of the Isle of Lewis, coinciding with the Gàidhlig holiday Samhainn that marks the beginning of winter, or the "darker half" of the year.
