Its striking choruses and beautiful arias linked by a haunting storytelling narrative present unparalleled insight into and meditative reflections on some of our most profound emotional states.

The band’s achievements have reached incredible heights with their ground-breaking fusion of traditional Scottish music and rock/pop anthems which they proudly call ‘Bagrock’: bagpipes with attitude, drums with a Scottish accent and a show so hot it should carry its own health warning!

With gold and platinum albums, multiple awards, sellout tours across the world, major festival, TV and international event appearances behind them, The Chillis have never been more in demand for their infectious style of feelgood music.

Theatre 503 and Bristol Old Vic’s production of:

And Then Come the Nightjars

by Bea Roberts

Directed by Paul Robinson Winner of the Theatre 503 Playwriting Award. Six off West End nominations including Best Director, Most Promising Playwright and Best Set Design.

South Devon, 2001. Jeff is a vet with a problem. Michael is a cattle farmer who is a problem.

The two men have a begrudging respect for each other and a blossoming friendship based on sharing a fag, a nip of whisky and boisterous banter. But when Foot and Mouth sweeps through the British countryside, communities are thrown into chaos. Michael watches, in grief stricken disbelief, the shooting of his beloved cows. He also watches his friend brandish the gun.

We want you to treat our theatre as a home from home, and to join us in building a space for Perth. So, as we develop ideas, we’d love to talk to you - the audience.

Over the past couple of months, I have been meeting people, schools and organizations across Perth and Kinross, asking you about what you want from the theatre and how we can support and magnify what you are interested in.

We will also be collaborating with local people across Perthshire on the creation of two new shows – by award-winning theatre-makers Greg Sinclair and Kieran Hurley - to be performed in the newly reopened theatre.

From early next year, we will be presenting theatre IN YOUR SPACE across Perth and Kinross: in rural venues, in school halls, on classroom desks, in tents... We will be bringing you some of the best existing work from across the UK, and new work by some of Scotland’s most innovative theatre companies: the award-winning And Then Come the Nightjars will be touring to rural venues (opposite); and the internationally successful Titus by Redbridge Arts will be performing in classrooms before it tours to the Lincoln Centre, New York, and the Kennedy Centre, Washington.

We would like to invite you to TALK TO US about how you see the theatre fitting into your lives, and what you want the theatre to be.

Food is scarce. And war work can be deadly. Inspired by real events and first-hand accounts, The 306: Day is about staying silent and speaking out, fighting for peace and giving into violence. It tells the forgotten story of three women in wartime and their struggle to survive in a world that won’t listen.

The 306: Day is a new piece of theatre from the National Theatre of Scotland, co-commissioned with 14-18 NOW, the UK's arts programme for the First World War centenary, and is the second part of the 306 Trilogy, following last year’s performances at Dalcrue Barn of The 306: Dawn.

Omid Djalili: Schmuck For a Night plus Boothby Graffoe Wed 22 Feb: 8pm | Perth Concert Hall £24.50; no concessions (inc £1.50 booking fee per ticket) Award winning comedian and actor Omid Djalili known for his legendary stand-up performances is back on a nationwide tour!

Intelligent, sometimes provocative and always entertaining, his live show is a hugely energetic and captivating comedy masterclass. His credits range from Hollywood to television and live on the West End stage. Earning praise across the world for his performances, Omid recently starred in Dickensian (BBC1) and Lucky Man (Sky1).

This is not the type of history class that you will get in school! Bruce Fummey was named Scottish Comedian of the Year in 2014.

His Edinburgh Fringe shows were nominated for Scottish Comedy Awards in 2013 and 2014 and his 2015 show was the biggest selling show in the Stand Comedy Club’s Stand in the Square.

He has brought together the best of these shows and come home to Perth in order to tell Scotland’s story, and film his new DVD in front of a home crowd.

Romans, Picts, Britons, Scots, Canmores, Bruces and Stewarts. Dodgy schemes, mythic heroes and a little bit of smut. If you like history, love Scotland and don’t mind the odd knob joke along the way, then this show is for you!

Bruce will be introduced by Perthshire farmer and comic Jim Smith, who will also perform a short set. 'this man exudes infectious warmth and humour... take your brain to see him, he’ll put stuff in it, and you’ll feel the better for it' chortle.co.uk Age guidance 14+

Another massive Fringe hit, this is the Socks’ 9th full-length show and has been acclaimed as their best yet:

‘one of the most joyfully smart, stimulating and entertaining comedians this country has’ The Telegraph ‘belly laughs with a subtle blend of mainstream gags and subversive twinkle’ Sunday Times

‘the unparalleled pinnacle of comedy puppetry’ ***** Venue

‘confident, engaging, thoughtful show ... did someone say National Treasure?’ Metro
