Dundee Rep’s 5-star, sell-out production of John McGrath’s The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil arrives in Inverness for one week only this October.

The highly acclaimed production tells the history and the tragedy of Scotland, performed as a Highland ceilidh, with song, humour and drama intermixed; creating a unique theatrical event, that remains as vital and relevant today as it was when 7:84 Scotland first presented it over 40 years ago.

This extraordinary play looks at the exploitation and economic changes in the Scottish Highlands throughout history, from the ruthless evictions of Highland crofters making way for the more economically viable Cheviot sheep in the 18th century, to the development of stag hunts in game parks in the 19th century and finally the exploitation of resources during the North Sea Oil boom of the 1970’s.

Written as a musical drama by John McGrath, it explores stories and experiences of Scotland’s land, sea and people across the centuries.

Once again, the Dundee Rep Ensemble has been granted permission to present this pivotal piece of Scottish theatre.

by Dylan Thomas Performed by Guy Masterson Directed by Tony Boncza (with original direction by George Dillon) Original music and Soundscape by Matt Clifford Guy Masterson (Shylock, Animal Farm) returns to Eden Court for the fourth time in 20 years with his solo tour de force of Dylan Thomas’ masterpiece.

Celebrating a day in the life of Llareggub - a small sea town somewhere in Wales - all 69 ebullient inhabitants in Dylan Thomas’ timeless masterpiece are hilariously recreated in an amazing feat of memory and virtuosity. Complimented by a stunning original soundscape, it’s bawdy and beautiful, sad and sensual and, through the music of language, leaves indelible, unforgettable images of humanity.

Isosceles productions make a welcome to return to Eden Court after the success of On our way to Lisbon, The Haunters and many other great shows.

Made famous by Richard Burton’s legendary recording in 1954, Guy Masterson (Burton’s nephew) brings it to vivid life on stage. This astonishing solo performance has played over 1500 times, enchanting audiences wherever it goes.

In search of love to infinity and beyond.

A new adaptation by Mike Maran An almost unabridged journey through Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso in search of Beatrice.

Will Mike Maran’s adaptation be as blasphemously offensive as Dante’s sublime poem? Will Mike get Dante’s girl? A mad flight of mesmerising medieval stand-up.

Written 700 years ago The Divine Comedy sits at the pinnacle of Western civilisation, one of the most influential works of literature composed by poetry’s most powerful practitioner.

Mike Maran’s A Divine Comedy is a smart, bold, irreverant one-man show which sees Maran join Dante through Inferno, Purgatiorio and Paradiso in the quest for the meaning of love.

If you have seen Mike before (Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Italia ‘n’ Caledonia) you’ll know what to expect. If you haven’t seen him before you will be spellbound.

Ireland 1922 - and the Ulster Boundary Commission has drawn the new border straight through the small town of Puckoon. With the church separated from its own graveyard and drink now thirty percent cheaper in one corner of the pub, life in the newly divided village will never be the same. Based on the book by Spike Milligan, this comic masterpiece is an irreverent and hilarious story which takes the mick, celebrates the absurd, and paints a picture of a simple life that borders on the ridiculous. You’ll be screaming with laughter at the Goonish blend of theatrical anarchy, musical wit, and impossible plot

…an undeniably enjoyable piece of storytelling…

In a world where redheads are strictly segregated and under curfew, red artists have been forced underground and have formed their own Red cabaret clubs. REaD focuses on one such club: The Scarlet Church where the performers’ illicit existence necessitates the keeping of Red secrets...

A cabaret within a play, REaD features song, dance, performance poetry and a hilarious rollercoaster ride through Red history from pre-Raphaelite exotica to social exclusion and popular culture.

A show that’s part catwalk, part political rally, part support group for underdogs everywhere, REaD is a unique celebration of individuality, resilience and the sheer joy of having red hair.

Fulfilling a long held desire to pay tribute to his hero Stan Laurel, Jeffrey Holland’s brilliant one man show tells the intriguing, funny and often poignant story of one of Hollywood’s great film comedians.

Set in the bedroom of a sick Oliver Hardy, the show takes place during Laurel’s visit to the dying man. Recounting their past success as the comedy double act Laurel and Hardy, this is a humorous and touching look at one of the great cinematic partnerships of the last century.

West Germany, 1969. Charismatic Willy Brandt has been elected Chancellor but soon those within his own party seek to destroy him. As the noose tightens, Brandt believes the only man he can truly trust is Gunter Guillaume, his devoted personal assistant. But in the world of political intrigue, espionage and betrayal, is anyone to be trusted?

Shakespearean in scale but with all the twists and spins of modern politics, Democracy combines the fascination of a John Le Carre thriller with the dynamism of The West Wing and House of Cards.

In 1795 and 1805, Park led two expeditions to West Africa to chart the River Niger and investigate tales of vast gold wealth. Park died on the 2nd expedition, along with nearly all of his party. His journal survived. The play is a tragi-comic retelling of the story, with the 18th century figure of Park interacting with two young men from today. As the story moves towards its latter stages, the folly of Park’s project, its development into an ever more crazy and violent colonial adventure is exposed. A rip-roaring entertainment and a salutary story.

Once there was a time with no mobiles, no online dating and no Facebook, when teenage girls waited with bated breath by the letterbox for their weekly issue of Jackie Magazine. In JACKIE THE MUSICAL we revisit those heady days, and tell the story of a recent divorcée who seeks advice once more from the pages of her old Jackie annuals.

The quizzes, the fashion tips, the ‘do’s and don’ts on first date’ and above all the Cathy and Claire problem pages are all eagerly devoured by our plucky heroine as she revisits the dizzy world of the teen bible.

Starring Janet Dibley (The Two of Us, EastEnders, Fat Friends), Olivier Award nominee Graham Bickley (Ragtime, Bread) and Nicholas Bailey (EastEnders, The Archers), JACKIE THE MUSICAL is accompanied by a pulsating sound track of classic 70’s hits played live including What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, Puppy Love and I Beg Your Pardon. Thrill once more to the unmistakable sounds of pop idols Donny Osmond, David Cassidy, Marc Bolan and many more.

ROSIE KAY DANCE COMPANY The team behind 2013’s smash hit The Pirates of Penzance returns with another Gilbert & Sullivan comedy classic. A stellar cast, in the hands of director Martin Lloyd-Evans, brings the fun to life with a delicious mix of cheeky English Music Hall and exquisite Japanese tradition.

The Mikado has decreed that flirting should be punishable by death.

But when his son Nanki-Poo falls for the beautiful Yum-Yum, it looks like someone might be heading for the executioner’s block…

Packed with anti-Establishment silliness, and full of larger than life characters including self serving politicians that are all too recognisable today, this playful show features some of G&S’s most popular tunes, including Three Little Maids, Tit-willow and I’ve Got a Little List.

Several of the team from The Pirates of Penzance return, including Richard Suart, Nicholas Sharratt, Rebecca Bottone, former Scottish Opera Emerging Artist Sioned Gwen Davies and conductor Derek Clark.

Baritone Stephen Richardson sings The Mikado, with comic genius Andrew Shore as Pooh-Bah.

A riveting, dark-hued work that casts a swarming, scurrying group of dancers.

Emergence presents the full Company on stage creating spectacular formations and is set to a hypnotic electronic score

by Owen Belton.

For the first time in over 20 years, Scottish Ballet will bring Swan Lake to the stage. This world premiere adaptation is a modern and imaginative retelling of the timeless tale.

Swan Lake portrays the love story of Siegfried and the beautiful swan queen Odette. As fate has it, Siegfried betrays Odette as he mistakenly declares his love for Odile, the dark seductress. Eventually Odette forgives Siegfried, but the trust between them has been broken and Siegfried is forced to face life without her forever.

Sophie Laplane

A New Work (World Premiere) Scottish Ballet dancer Sophie Laplane has increasingly been making her mark on the dance world by creating delightful and unique works. Laplane’s Maze was performed as a curtain raiser for Scottish Ballet’s Autumn Season 2015 and wowed critics and audiences alike.

Choreographed by the award-winning British dance maker David Dawson, Swan Lake will demonstrate his visceral and daring work which has made him one of the most innovative dance makers working in classical ballet today.

Laplane’s singular style mixes humour with inspiration from everyday emotions and situations. The shapes she creates for the dancers are as surprising as they are distinctive and hugely entertaining.

With ethereal and stylish sets and costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra, don’t miss an enchanting Swan Lake for a new generation.

Fresh from their sell-out hit shows Midnight Tango and Dance ’Til Dawn, Strictly Come Dancing favourites, Vincent Simone & Flavia Cacace have created their most moving production yet as they dance in their final ever theatre tour.

Critically acclaimed theatre from Company Chordelia’s award winning Artistic Director Kally Lloyd-Jones.

Don’t miss your last chance to see this beautiful couple do what they do best live, in an intimate, passionate and explosive experience – it’s time for The Last Tango.

Combining theatre and dance, this powerful new piece evokes legendary 20th Century dancer Nijinsky’s journey from global success to the desolate isolation of mental illness. Inspired by the rhythmic obsession of his diaries, Young and Old Nijinsky consider their life together, on and off stage, trying to make sense of the loss of self.

Where do you begin to tell the story of Scotland? With the myths, the legends and the battles? Or by building a castle in your granny’s back green.

Tales of a Grandson is one man’s re-telling of Scotland’s history - but this is no straight and dusty history lesson, this story is told by Andy Cannon, formerly of Wee Stories and one of Scotland’s finest story-tellers.

Andy takes us on a time travelling adventure with his grandparents through Scotland’s past to piece together the myriad of Kings, Queens, friends and foes that make up our nation’s story (and unearths just why our mountains are so small on the way!).

Composer and musician Wendy Weatherby joins Andy and adds to the Tales with music specially composed for the show.

JRR Tolkien’s Leaf by Niggle ONETOUCH THEATRE FRI 03 JUN 19.30 SEAT PRICE £10.00 REDUCED RATES £8.00

EDEN COURT FRIENDS DISCOUNT APPLIES 10+

Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas - a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make. He doesn’t want to go, but he cannot get out of it...

In 1939 Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion.

One morning he woke up with Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down.

Surrounded by ladders, bicycles and heirlooms, Richard Medrington (Jean from The Man Who Planted Trees) recounts Tolkien’s miniature masterpiece, with music specially composed by Karine Polwart and Michael John McCarthy.

With thanks to the Tolkien Trust.

Award winning comic Billy Kirkwood (the voice of Glasgow’s Insane Championship Wrestling ICW) hits the road with a brand new live and interactive stand up show.

Considered something of a Glaswegian Peter Kay (though ruder and cruder and with an extra sprinkle of danger) Billy delivers universal tales of childhood nostalgia in a show that throws the script out and unleashes a wave of frantically funny comedic nonsense!

Having previously supported Frankie Boyle on his record-breaking national tour, Craig Campbell is a formidable stand-up and one of the most charismatic and inventive performers around. He’s appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Russell Howard’s Good News, Alan Davies’ As Yet Untitled and Dave’s One Night Stand.

Mozart String Quartet No 19 in C K465 Dissonance MacMillan String Quartet No 3 Dvorak String Quartet No 12 in F Op 96 American New Horizons represents composers at points of departure or venturing into new territory. Mozart’s Dissonance quartet can surprise even 21st Century ears, whilst MacMillan’s third quartet demonstrates an astonishing range of expression. Dvorak’s American string quintet illustrates how new surroundings can influence and inspire.

Scotland’s flagship string quartet provides intimate, vivid experiences of some of the world’s greatest music.

Drama and darkness sit alongside lightness and good humour in energetic young German conductor Clemens Schuldt’s concert of contrasts.

Astonishing young British-Taiwanese pianist and Alfred Brendel protégé Kit Armstrong is the soloist in Mozart’s tempestuous D minor Piano Concerto, K466. The concert begins with the wild, gripping emotions of the Olympie Overture by Joseph Martin Kraus, a contemporary of Haydn.

By way of complete contrast, Schuldt concludes his programme with the warm-hearted Intermezzo from Richard Strauss’s final opera, Capriccio, and the graceful, sometimes mischievous playfulness of Beethoven’s high-spirited First Symphony.

Conductor Lahav Shani Violin Stephanie Gonley Viola Jane Atkins

Travelling around Europe aged 23, Mozart was no longer the cute boy wonder that had initially caught Europe’s attention, but this period of his compositional life was hugely productive. SCO Leader Stephanie Gonley and Principal Viola Jane Atkins join forces to perform Mozart’s heartfelt and virtuosic Sinfonia Concertante, considered by many to be his crowning achievement.

Experience the joy of youth and the freedom of the countryside in Prokofiev’s First Symphony, which he wrote aged just 26 whilst on holiday. We close with Beethoven’s ebulliently experimental and lighthearted Eighth Symphony, full of musical jokes and twists and turns that delighted and challenged the audiences of the 19th century as much as they do us today.

FRI 13 MAY 20.15 SEAT PRICE £9.00 EDEN COURT FRIENDS DISCOUNT APPLIES

Tiny Ruins is an alias conceived in 2009 by songwriter Hollie Fullbrook. Traversing early influences of folk and blues, her sound draws on ethereal and grungy soundscapes alike. Sometimes likened to Nick Drake, Mazzy Star or Nico, Fullbrook’s voice and guitar work evades cliché, making use of alternate tunings by way of her own self-styled fingerpicking. Lyrically one of a kind, stories are laced with a dark humour that’s at times disarmingly confessional.

Tiny Ruins has opened for Calexico, Sharon Van Etten and an eclectic array of opening slots, from Beach House, Joanna Newsom and Father John Misty to Neil Finn, Ryan Adams and Leon Bridges.
