'Jacobite Country' - Dogstar Theatre
Written by Henry Adam and directed by Matthew Zajac A new comedy by Henry Adam from the makers of the international hit The Tailor of Inverness. Jacobite Country is a scintillating new comedy about fame, vanity and mental illness by one of Scotland’s outstanding playwrights. Selling his soul and his roots, Haggis McSporran has become King of Comedy in the fleshpots of London. He returns home to the Highlands in search of new material. His old pal Craitur Face, now a renegade DJ on Jacobite Radio might help. Along the way they meet the Loch Ness Monster and prevent Uncle Angus from invading England (again). "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" The Scotsman on Seven Ages "The all-female cast are charismatic and mad for it, and Haggis, as played by an on-form Sarah Haworth, is a worthy successor to the Big Yin." With live music and tremendous craic from Sarah Haworth, Fiona Morrison, Annie Grace and Mairi MorrisonDate: 13/09/10
