'Great Expectations'
Prime Productions
**** "A first rate treatment of the Dickens classic"
Adapted by Jo Clifford; Directed by Ben Twist; Sound Design by David Fennessy; Designed by Monika Nesbit
Charles Dickens’ classic story of love and mystery makes terrific theatre. Pip longs to be a gentleman, but he is haunted by the memory of the mysterious Magwitch. Caught in the web of the reclusive Miss Havisham’s desire for revenge against all men, Pip’s love for the beautiful Estelle seems to be just another dream.
Jo Clifford’s beautiful adaptation uses Dickens’ own words to create a classic work of modern British theatre. The production will feature a live soundscape from one of Scotland’s finest young composers, Dave Fennessy, an outstanding cast and all the theatricality audiences have come to expect from the company that brought you Sunset Song and Further Than the Furthest Thing.
‘Prime Productions has come up Trumps again...’

'Johnson and Boswell - Late But Live'
StandOut Comedy Agency
"Fringe theatre at its fun-filled best."
230 years after they made their journey, Boswell hosts a book launch, interviewing Johnson, discussing Scotland ancient and modern, and taking questions from the audience. Haggis is eaten. Pipes are played. And sacred highland cattle are ritually slaughtered. This is an hilarious new play which has Johnson and Boswell take a quantum leap into 21st century Scotland. Their wit and invective are rapier sharp and able to focus on a range of contemporary targets as they ponder the changes and achievements of the ‘Scotchmen’ in the intervening period. The performance includes a section of material specially written for each town and city they pass through on the tour.
An hilrious new comedy from Stewart Lee, starring Simon Munnery and Miles Jupp from StandOut Comedy.
Adults £8; Students £4; Children £3; Members £6
