Title: 'A Walk at the Edge of the World' Magnetic North Theatre
Description: Inspired by the act of walking, A Walk at the Edge of the World begins with a walk taken by the whole audience, before they arrive at the venue for a ‘magic lantern’ style talk about walking on the coast. The solo performer leads the audience along the many paths his mind followed as he walked and the talk leaps from subject to subject, mirroring the way the mind works when there is time only to think. Projected images hint at how the hidden secrets of the landscape and the constantly shifting border between land and sea remind us that the past is always with us, whether we realise it or not. 'A Walk at the Edge of the World' is inspired by the act of walking and examines the particular character of the coast – a crossing point where the land meets the sea and a place of arrival and departure. A Walk at the Edge of the World begins with a short walk taken by the whole audience, from the sea to the theatre. Once inside the theatre, as the performer begins to talk about walks he has taken, audience and performer find the projected images leading us all on another journey. The hidden secrets of the landscape and the constantly shifting border between land and sea remind us that the past is always with us, whether we realise it or not. The evening start in Armadale pier Carpark, where you should leave your car just before 7.30pm. We then walk for 20 minutes across the foreshore, through some trees and to the venue for the play which starts at 8pm. Lifts will be arranged to collect you car at the end. We suggest that you wear suitable footwear. Those not wishing to do the walk should meet in the Stables at 7.30pm Text by Nicholas Bone, Design by Sans façon and performed by Ian Cameron **** “Works beautifully… a tremendously timely piece of theatre.” The Scotsman on 'Walden' “A wonderful meditation on journeys, lives and spaces.” Audience member Part of the Highland Seashore Festival

Title: 'Brightwater' - Mull Theatre
Description: Based on the life and writings of one of the most extraordinary Scots of recent times, the naturalist and explorer, Gavin Maxwell: social renegade, basking shark hunter, racing driver, wartime secret agent and poet and one of the most popular authors of wildlife books this century. In Ring of Bright Water (1959), his depiction of the West Highlands captivated the world, but his success came, eventually, to haunt him. Now it’s time for a new generation to discover him and his work, which epitomises a wide range of ecological, bio diversity, sustainable development and conservation issues. Maxwell’s constant battle with the elements, and the wildlife - including the otters - contrast with the idealised picture that the film drew. Together with his failed relationships, lack of money and the eventual destruction of his - absolute paradise -, it makes a fascinating tale.

Title: 'Forsaken' - Spindrift Project Theatre
Description: Forsaken is the story of an island set at the moment of depopulation, of a struggle for survival and a struggle with the past. Sandy is the last inhabitant of this small island. He is old and barely able to fend for himself, yet is steadfast in his refusal to be moved. In this extreme isolation, memory and myth become inseparable while sound, image and speech become fragmented. The island, it seems, is what Sandy lives for. Until, from nowhere, a young woman arrives, shattering the fragile world he has created for himself and forcing him to confront his own demise. As these two characters try to piece together scraps of tradition and fleeting images from the island’s dark past, Sandy’s story is overshadowed by his own erratic behaviour. This is a 60 minute long provocative new piece of theatre that merges physical performance and multimedia to explore the gap between what is real and not real, what is seen and half seen.

Was he guilty? Or was he the victim of a plot fabricated by an English Establishment to remove a Gaelic-speaking upstart who got above himself?

Title: 'Mallory Beyond Everest'
Description: A real Highland collaboration, this terrific one man play is written by locally based John Burns, directed by talented Eden Court staff members Catherine MacNeil and Melissa MacDonald. Music by renowned Highland musician Bob Pegg. On the 8th of June 1924 George Mallory and Andrew Irvine vanished into the mist on their final push toward the unconquered summit of Everest. They were never seen alive again and passed into mountaineering legend. Whether they were the first to climb the mountain is a debate that still rages. First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe by actor and mountaineer John Burns. The play provides a fascinating insight into the mind of a man torn between his love for his wife Ruth and his relentless, burning desire to be the first man to reach the highest point on earth. Beyond Everest is a human story told with humour and passion and poses the question; what if Mallory had survived the mountain, what ghosts would have haunted him. The play includes original film footage of the 1924 Everest Expedition, shown by kind permission of the British Film Institute.

Title: 'Mary Queen of Scots got her head chopped Off' NTS
Description: ‘Once upon a time, there were twa queens on the wan green island, and the wan green island was split inty twa kingdoms.’ First performed in 1987, Liz Lochhead’s play Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off is widely acknowledged as a modern Scottish classic. Feisty, fast-moving, peppered with live music, wit, and cheek, this vigorous ensemble production is presented by the National Theatre of Scotland and directed by the outstanding Alison Peebles who appeared in the original production as Elizabeth. So La Corbie, the trickster prophet turns the wheel of fortune and plunges us into the ‘whispers rumours, souchs and chatters’ at the heart of this story of two of history’s most intriguing women – Mary, Queen of Scots, and her cousin and fellow ruler, Elizabeth I of England. Mary and Elizabeth, two women with much in common, but more that set them apart. Following the death of her husband, the Dauphin of France, the beautiful, and staunchly Catholic Mary Stuart has returned from France to rule Scotland, a country she neither knows nor understands. Ill prepared to rule in her own right, Mary has failed to learn what her protestant cousin Elizabeth Tudor knows only too well, that a queen must rule with her head, not her heart. While Mary’s return to Scotland is little cause for celebration among her own people, it is even less welcome at her cousin’s glittering, highly politicised court. Elizabeth is well versed in the ruthlessness required of an absolute monarch and this is unleashed with bloody consequences when Mary re-marries and gives birth to a son. For her heir has a strong claim to the throne of both Scotland and England. All too soon the stage is set for a deadly end game in which there can only be one winner and one queen on the one green island. Suggested Age 14+

The wonderful ad hoc talents of Daibhidh Walker is a unique experience in Gaelic theatre. Coming from the critically acclaimed team who brought Mac Beatha to the Edinburgh Festival stage, this play mixes the rich poetic language of Shakespeare with some perfectly scripted contemporary belly laughs. 45 minutes. Suitable for all ages and families. Aisling oidhche Meadhan Samhraidh: Far comhair riochdaichear draoidheachd, mì-mhodh, cleasan is gaol le cuideachadh o sheann bhròig, pocan plastaig agus breige! Cuir an cois sin giùlan iongantach is comasach Dhaibhidh Walker san dealbh, is chan eil a leithid ri fhaighinn ann an dràma Ghàidhlig.

And at 9pm - 'Building a Nation' performed in English, Scots and Gaelic. A spoken word and sound performance by poet and Gaelic learner Martin O’Connor and performed by him and Nicoal Scrutton. Steeped in the industrial voice of his own Glaswegian Scots, he explores the personal relationship with voice, accent and dialect and unearths the words we lose when we leave the land for the city, the words we lose when a place is swept by deindustrialization, and the words we lose when we are disconnected from our cultural identity. The piece challenges perceptions of the Scottish cringe and the voice as class indicator and asks if Gaelic accents carry the same bias or marginalisation. Does coming from Uist, Lewis, Mull or Skye have the same provocation as coming from Pollok or Bearsden? And what does the Glaswegian Gael sound like? Suitable for adults - contains strong language. Togail Nàisean: Tha bàrd a dh’ionnsaich a’ Ghàidhlig, Martin O’Connor, a’ cur Building a Nation air àrd-ùrlar le cainnt is fuaim. Tha dualchas Albais gnìomhachais Ghlaschu gu domhainn ann fhèin, is tha e a’ rannsachadh a dhàimh phearsanta ris a’ ghuth, ri blas is ri dualchainnt, is a’ rùrach airson nam faclan a chailleas sinn nuair a thèid sinn on fhearann chun a’ bhaile mhòir, na faclan a chailleas sinn nuair a sguabar gnìomhachas air falbh à àite, is na faclan a chailleas sinn nuair a thèid air sgaradh o ar n ionannachd chultarach fhèin.

A bheil an aon bhuaidh aig a bhith à Uibhist, Leòdhas, Muile no às an Eilean Sgitheanach ’s a th’ aig a bhith à Pollok no Bearsden? Agus dè am blas a th’ aig Gàidheil Ghlaschu?

Suitable for all ages and families. Aisling oidhche Meadhan Samhraidh: Far comhair riochdaichear draoidheachd, mì-mhodh, cleasan is gaol le cuideachadh o sheann bhròig, pocan plastaig agus breige! Cuir an cois sin giùlan iongantach is comasach Dhaibhidh Walker san dealbh, is chan eil a leithid ri fhaighinn ann an dràma Ghàidhlig. Tha an dealbh-chluich seo ga cur air adhart leis an sgioba a fhuair moladh o sgrùdairean airson Mac Beatha air àrd-ùrlar Fèis Dhùn Èideann, agus tha measgachadh innte de chainnt bheairteach bhàrdail Shakespeare is de sgrìobhadh eagnaidh on là an diugh a bheir fìor lasgan air luchd-èisteachd. And at 9pm - 'Building a Nation' performed in English, Scots and Gaelic. A spoken word and sound performance by poet and Gaelic learner Martin O’Connor and performed by him and Nicoal Scrutton. Steeped in the industrial voice of his own Glaswegian Scots, he explores the personal relationship with voice, accent and dialect and unearths the words we lose when we leave the land for the city, the words we lose when a place is swept by deindustrialization, and the words we lose when we are disconnected from our cultural identity. The piece challenges perceptions of the Scottish cringe and the voice as class indicator and asks if Gaelic accents carry the same bias or marginalisation. Does coming from Uist, Lewis, Mull or Skye have the same provocation as coming from Pollok or Bearsden? And what does the Glaswegian Gael sound like? Suitable for adults - contains strong language. Togail Nàisean: Tha bàrd a dh’ionnsaich a’ Ghàidhlig, Martin O’Connor, a’ cur Building a Nation air àrd-ùrlar le cainnt is fuaim. Tha dualchas Albais gnìomhachais Ghlaschu gu domhainn ann fhèin, is tha e a’ rannsachadh a dhàimh phearsanta ris a’ ghuth, ri blas is ri dualchainnt, is a’ rùrach airson nam faclan a chailleas sinn nuair a thèid sinn on fhearann chun a’ bhaile mhòir, na faclan a chailleas sinn nuair a sguabar gnìomhachas air falbh à àite, is na faclan a chailleas sinn nuair a thèid air sgaradh o ar n ionannachd chultarach fhèin. Bheir an obair seo an aghaidh air seallaidhean a thaobh cringe na h-Alba is a thaobh a’ ghuth mar chomharra air inbhe, agus faighnichidh i a bheil an aon chlaonadh is an aon iomallachadh ann a thaobh dhualchainntean Gàidhlig. A bheil an aon bhuaidh aig a bhith à Uibhist, Leòdhas, Muile no às an Eilean Sgitheanach ’s a th’ aig a bhith à Pollok no Bearsden? Agus dè am blas a th’ aig Gàidheil Ghlaschu?

Title: 'Mungo Park' - Dogstar Theatre
Description: Mungo Park : travels in the Interior of Africamungo park Travelling to Africa in 1795, Scottish doctor and Enlightenment figure Mungo Park became the first European to reach the central portion of the Niger and determine in which direction it flowed. He was also the first to reach the legendary trading city of Timbuktu. According to the Scottish-Danish team behind this production, Park’s account of his travels reads like a Hollywood blockbuster – so they set out to build an epic theatrical experience out of it. And within the confines of a Fringe theatre, boy, do they succeed. A rip-roaring entertainment and a salutary story. ~ 4**** With Matthew Zajac as Mungo Park Directed by Martin Lyngbo Written by Martin Lyngbo and Thor Bjorn Krebs “Matthew Zajac…cementing himself as one of my favourite contemporary stage actors…Anders Christensen and Kingsley Amadi, both great actors. The trio have a fantastic stage chemistry…” “…a breakneck, rollercoater ride…with plenty of laughs…(and) plenty of depth.” Edinburgh Festival Magazine **** (edfestmag.com) “The visuals…are amazing…the lighting and sound are truly spectacular…A triumph of political theatre, Mungo Park will not disappoint.”

Title: 'Not About Heroes' - Eden Court Theatre
Description: In 1917, at the height of the First World War, the poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon was admitted to Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh, officially for treatment for shell-shock, but in truth because he had published his ‘Soldier’s Declaration’, denouncing the conduct of the war by the British establishment. There he met the severely shell-shocked Wilfred Owen, already making his first tentative steps as a poet. By the time Owen was killed in action, a year later, he had written what is now considered to be the finest poetry of the Great War. This 1982 play examines how the two poets’ friendship unlocked Owen’s genius. A profoundly moving piece about the nature of friendship, love and the art of war. ‘Not About Heroes’ is written by Stephen Macdonald and features two talented young, recently graduated, Highland based actors and is directed by Philip Howard, Artistic Director of Dundee Rep. It is suitable for 12+.

Title: 'Passing Places' - On Q Productions
Description: A stolen surfboard, a lollipop-man with an aversion to sheep, a psychedelic Lada, two Motherwell lads and twelve other cast and crew are all being packed into the back of the On Q Productions van this autumn. This bizarre collection lies at the heart of their highly successful production of Stephen Greenhorn's Passing Places. One of the wittiest pieces of writing to take the stage in Scotland, Passing Places is a road movie adapted for the stage. It follows the journey of Alex and Brian as they escape Motherwell the only way they know how - by stealing a prized surfboard and fleeing to Thurso to sell it. They head for the Highlands and Islands and encounter an array of fascinating characters on the way... 'Passing Places' was first toured with great success by Traverse Theatre. On Q Productions is new company of current and ex-students of the Drama Department of the RSAMD and sent in our direction by Sheena Scott, ex-SEALL and ex-RSAMD, following the sell-out run of the play in Glasgow last December. This production uses a new score written especially for the tour by Scottish fiddler Stephen D Moffat and video production by designer Ken McGlashan.

Title: 'Roghainn nan Daoine' ~ 'The People's Choice''
Description: 'Roghainn nan Daoine' is a project that reflects how love divides and was inspired by the social and political background of the emergence of the Free Church in Lewis in the 1840’s. Two powerful stories are intertwined in Na Daòine. The first is based on the true story of a young island woman’s life, which begins with the excitement of her engagement followed closely with the devastation of her fiancé being called to armed service. Her emotional journey continues with elation of having him return, only to be heartbroken again to find that events have led him to another life that doesn’t include her. The second storyline encompasses the desperate social and political circumstances that provoked the emergence of a new spirituality based belief system in the 1840’s. Na Daòine is inspired by this time period and depicts how a people oppressed by landlords, compulsory army subscription and poor economy, rebelled and placed their allegiance in God.

Title: 'The Derry Boat' - Town Hall Theatre, Little John Nee
Description: Little John Nee is an unlikely gangster as he makes his entrance in "The Derry Boat". Cued by a dissonant crunchy electric guitar chord, Nee, as Shugie O'Donnell, crashes through the door of a corrugated metal shack in a rumpled black suit and tiny sunglasses, waving a gun and toting a large suitcase. This sets the stage for an unlikely rooler-coaster ride which tells the funny, yet poignant story of that four generations of migration between Ireland and Scotland. The show charts the history of the O'Donnell family, from John, who leaves Donegal penniless at the turn of the century, through to the return of Shughie his grandson, a Glaswegian wide boy with attitude in the summer of '98. The result is a "serious comedy" which presents a wry look at the life of emigrants to "big, sooty, smelly, socialist Glasgow".

Description: June 1816 – the ‘Year without a summer’: On yet another sun-less day at their holiday villa in Switzerland, Lord Byron challenges his guests Percy and Mary Shelley to ‘each write a ghost story’. Two days later Mary, 18 years old and having recently watched her premature baby die, has a ‘waking dream’ and begins to write a story that will haunt and define her for the rest of her life. ‘So this is why you created me? Not to scare your readers. Not to scare yourself. But to scare away the things that really frightened you? So that you can sleep at night?’ The Monster and Mary Shelley is an atmospheric, moving, and at times darkly comic exploration of ‘fear’. Incorporating elements of music hall, melodrama, horror and teenage rebellion with a pulsing cinematic score, The Monster… explores the world of Mary Shelley – the Gothic Girl who electrified the world. The most enduring of all horror stories. A haunting exploration of the life of Mary Shelley, of her monster… and fear.

Title: 'The Pearlfisher' - Traverse Theatre
Description: Another play by Lewis writer Iain Finlay MacLeod. It is 1948 in the North West Highlands. Jess has a fiery temper and a devil-may-care attitude that don’t make fitting in easy, so it’s no surprise she finds herself attracted to Ali, a travelling pearl-fisher and fellow outsider. But the jealousy and avarice of some of the village sets a dark series of events in motion. Nearly sixty years later, eighteen-year-old Jessie finds life just as hard. With a work-shy husband and a child on the way, she takes to the river, searching for pearls to try and make ends meet with the old way. The arrangement she strikes up with a local asylum seeker, however, makes waves in both their worlds. The friendships both women strike up with those on the edge of their experience create ripples in their worlds which have implications for them far beyond their present. Asylum and acceptance, longing and belonging – The Pearlfisher weaves these themes into a play with beautiful poetics, striking imagery and a story both wistful and warming. The Pearlfisher is the third full length play for the Traverse by Iain Finlay MacLeod. His plays 'I Was a Beautiful Day' and 'Homers' were very well received in previous SEALL promotions of Traverse Theatre.

Title: 'The Seer'
Description: Neil and Iona are a comfortable couple in their early thirties. Into their lives bursts Kirsty, Iona’s anarchic sister, who immediately disturbs their equilibrium. Iona is delighted by her arrival, Neil feels threatened by it. Half an hour into the play, its established reality, a contemporary living room farce, is transformed by Kirsty’s realisation that they are being watched - by the audience ! Two characters, Sabrina and Janice, intervene from their seats in the auditorium. To Iona and Neil, they appear to have come from nowhere, or through the wall of their front room. To Kirsty, they are visitors from a parallel universe. The Seer by Ali Smith is a contemporary comedy of manners which incorporates a playful deconstruction of the medium of theatre itself, asking the audience to consider just what it is they are seeing. It’s a lively, funny, satirical roller coaster about domestic perfection, free spirits and the new Scotland. "a timely reminder of how much Scottish theatre needs this strand of Highland-made work with all its wild surrealism, structural anarchy, passionate lyricism and spiritual openness". SAC Funded.

Title: 'The Straw Chair' - Bordeline Theatre Company
Description: Sue Glover’s internationally renowned play of profound power, about liberty and love, both lost and discovered, in the unlikeliest of 18th century settings. Seventeen-year-old Isabel and her minister husband Aneas arrive from Edinburgh onto the remote island of Hirta (St. Kilda) to spread the gospel in the Gaelic speaking North. Their stormy start to marriage worsens as they encounter the extraordinary Lady Grange, a true historical figure named Rachel Chiesley, who’s tortured by a life of abduction and banishment. While Lady Grange tragically clings to her old straw chair, Isabel uncovers alarming similarities to her own situation as she battles between a desire for youthful exhilaration and the danger of being too troublesome a wife. When their intended short stay soon becomes as indefinite as that of Lady Grange, will they all ever return to civilisation? “A beguiling combination of things, starting with the incredible story of Lady Grange, banished by her husband to the remoteness of St Kilda. Hung around this framework is an evocation, as light and sharp as spindrift, of the strange life on the island.” - Scotland on Sunday “Her wonderful ear for Scottish cadence allows us to enter fully into the world she creates.” - Time Out Read more about Borderline Theatre, which celebrates 40 years in 2015, on http://www.borderlinetheatre.co.uk/ With Selina Boyack, Pamela Reid, Ceit Kearney and Martin McBride Making Connections: 'The Straw Chair' is directed by award-winning Scottish Theatre Director Liz Carruthers, who recently spent a year at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig as a mature student.

Who is the Brontes' mysterious neighbour, Mr. Moorcock of Ravaged Heath House, and what does the maniacal laughter coming from his attic mean? Do unfulfilled souls really wander over the wild and heather-clad moors? Who should Cathy marry, Heathcliff or David Niven? Peopled with some of the great characters from the Bronte canon – and some, quite frankly that LipService have made up - Withering Looks is an irreverent and hilarious theatre event to savour.

Title: Blas Festival 'Hallaig' play, pie and a drink
Description: In English and Gaelic with a little Arabic and Spanish and understood by everyone! A young man, Sorley, drives north to Raasay to try to stop the woman he loves marrying another man. Her name is Eimhir. But as Sorley nears Raasay, the memories of his upbringing in Hallaig Wood return. Memories he has suppressed since he ran away from the island at fourteen, never to return. When he reaches the island, the same choice he ran from many years ago confronts him again. 'Hallaig' is based on two poems written by Sorley Maclean - 'Hallaig' and 'An Roghainn'. It is a story about unrequited love and how the small choices we make in life can affect us. It is about loss - of time, life, love and language. With Davie Walker, Marie Morrison, Martin MacIntyre. The play lasts for 1 hour and tickets include a hot pie and a drink. Limited seating - book now! Hallaig - Dealbh-chuich le Iain F Macleòid. Tha fear òg, Somhairle, a' draibheadh gu tuath, gu Ratharsaidh. Tha e a' dol a dh'fheuchainn ri stad a chur air an gaol geal àlainn aige pòsadh duine eile. 'S e Eimhir an t-ainm a th'oirre. Ach mar as fhaisg a tha Somhairle a' tighinn air an eilean, 's ann a tha a' chuimhne aige air na thachair nuair a bha e òg a' tighinn air ais thuige. Na rudan a dh'adhbharraich gun ruith e air falbh aig ceithir bliadhna deug a dh'aois. Cha deach e air ais bhon uairsin. Nuair a tha e a' ruighinn an Eilein, tha an t-aon roghainn a thug air teiche na òige roimhe a-rithist. Tha 'Hallaig' stèidhichte air dà phìos bàrdachd le Somhairle MacGiill-eathain - "Hallag' agus 'An Roghainn'. 'S e sgeulachd mu dheidhinn gaol neo-dhìolta a th'ann, agus mar a dh'fhaodas roghainn beag atharrachadh ar beatha. Tha e mu dheidhinn call - tìm, gaol agus cànan.

Title: Calum's Road - National Theatre of Scotland/Communicado
Description: Calum's Road has become the stuff of modern folklore. It is the remarkable true story of one man's single-minded determination to challenge the powers-that-be. Calum MacLeod, having battled the inaction of authorities on Raasay for years, sets off alone with a pick, a shovel and a wheelbarrow to build a road. He wants to turn the tide of neglect and indifference and keep his family, and community, together. His unpaid labour of love was to dominate the last 20 years of Calum’s life and leave behind a legacy, both practical and poetic, carved into the landscape he loved. Adapted by David Harrower from the book by Roger Hutchinson. Directed by Gerry Mulgrew of Communicado Theatre. With Angela Hardie (Young Julia), Lewis Howden (Iain), Ceit Kearney (Julia), Iain Macrae (Calum) and Ben Winger (Alex).

Title: National Theatre of Scotland - 'Mollie Sweenie'
Description: Molly Sweeney has been unable to see since she was a child. Her lack of sight has never lessened her sheer joy at everyday life. As a girl, her father taught her to recognise by touch every flower, shrub and tree in their walled garden to make her at ease with her world. Following a critically-acclaimed run at the Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow in 2005, the National Theatre of Scotland presents Molly Sweeney in a nationwide tour this autumn. Created by Brian Friel, one of Ireland’s foremost playwrights, Molly’s emotional journey is at the heart of one of our most thought-provoking modern dramas. When Molly marries the unemployed Frank, they embark on a relentless campaign to restore her sight. Packing an enormous dramatic and emotional punch, their journey results in them paying a wonderful, terrible price. Imaginatively staged, Molly Sweeney brings audiences into a touchingly intimate relationship with the play’s unfolding events.

Title: Phileas P Souper - Loon and Theatre Mimi
Description: an incredible journey told through a combination of slapstick, mime and music. As the play opens we realise that Phileas has recently passed on and his friends decide it is only appropriate to mourn their friend with a celebration of his greatest adventures- and the audience is a welcome participant in this breathless ride. The stage is transformed into an emporium of exotic instruments; marimbas, banjos and washboards to name but a few, and the interplay between the musicians and actors is a treat to behold, the simple structure of mimed sketches accompanied by dynamic multi-instrumentalists creates the atmosphere of the various locations brilliantly- with the need for only minimal dialogue. Phileas P. Souper is a must see performance full of wit, energy and technical skill. "Edinburgh Fringe street theatre meets a traveling circus band; Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin meet Spike Jones’ City Slickers. If you enjoy great comedy and equally great music then this show’s for you!"
