A Wonderful Theatre in a Spectacular Setting Welcome to another packed programme of plays, concerts and workshops at Scotland’s Theatre in the Hills. With four weeks left in the 2015 Summer Season, there is still time – just!

- to plan your trip to see one or more of these fabulous productions. So don’t delay, book today!

Autumn at PFT brings the warmth and excitement of Cuba to Highland Perthshire with Graham Greene’s hilarious 1950s spy satire, Our Man In Havana. You’ll never trust a vacuum-cleaner salesman again . . .

This festive season sees the return of our award-winning 2012 production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. Advance sales are already very buoyant, so make sure you book early to secure your seats to this glittering musical spectacular.

The supremely talented balletLORENT return with their magical re-telling of the Brothers Grimm’s Snow White in February, whilst Blazin’ Fiddles, Skerryvore and Swansea City Opera’s La Bohème take us further into Spring.

Christine Bovill

Skerryvore

The ever-popular Pasadena Roof Orchestra return once again, complemented by The Dime Notes (who bring the sounds of 1920s New Orleans jazz to the PFT stage), whilst a host of outstanding tribute acts complete our concert programme, including Frankly Sinatra and Christine Bovill’s Piaf. And we also welcome back Immersion Theatre with the terrifically tangled tale of Rapunzel - sure to enthral and entertain the young, and young at heart!

Winter Words gets Scotland’s literary year into gear here from the 12–20 February, 2016.

We’re keeping this year’s programme under wraps currently, but we can reveal that the Banff Mountain Film Festival will return! Turn to page 25 for more information.

Our Active Arts workshop programme introduces new activities - Crafty Christmas Creations, Basket Weaving and Fondant Cake Decorating - alongside a familiar range of ever-popular favourites.

So as the seasons and scenery change (both outside and onstage!), join us to be enthused and inspired by the majesty our location, the warmth of our welcome and the creativity and talent of those on stage and behind the scenes!

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Theatre in the Hills before too long.

“Listen. You’re a patriotic Englishman. Highly respected. Been here for years. A wide circle of influential friends. It is important that we have our man in Havana, Mr. Wormold.”

In 1950s Cuba, revolution is in the air . . . and the British Secret Service needs a new source of intelligence . . .

Enter Jim Wormold, a hapless vacuumcleaner salesman. Struggling to pay for his teenage daughter’s extravagant lifestyle, Wormold can’t resist the financial rewards offered for becoming HM Government’s ‘man in Havana’. There’s just one problem: he’s clueless about politics and wouldn’t know a dead letter drop from a double agent . . .

22

So Wormold decides that invention is the best course of action. And soon, reports of his recruitment of shadowy agents (entirely imaginary) and copies of top secret military plans (diagrams of vacuum-cleaner parts) begin to cross the Atlantic.

But whilst Whitehall is delighted, the regime in Havana is appalled. For it turns out that Wormold’s fantasies are alarmingly close to the truth. And it’s quickly decided that Wormold – and his “agents“ – must disappear . . .

In Clive Francis’s hilarious adaptation, Graham Greene’s classic spy satire (memorably filmed in 1959 with Alec Guinness and Noël Coward) is transformed into a high octane romp through the colourful bars and seedy backstreets of Havana. Featuring a bewildering array of characters played by just four actors, this spectacular tour de force shares the same theatrical DNA as our hugely popular production of The 39 Steps in 2012.

Taking place over two weekends in some of the most picturesque surroundings you could imagine, Winter Words guarantees a special, unforgettable visit to Highland Perthshire!

We’re keeping our big names under wraps for now, but we can reveal we’ve been talking to plenty of Scottish stars of the small screen, including Rab C Nesbitt legend Gregor Fisher and Alex Norton from the classic Taggart. Alex is a fantastic raconteur with wonderful tales from his long and varied acting career.

Levison Wood, TV traveller, explorer, walker in harsh terrain and star of Walking The Nile has just embarked on a new expedition and is hoping to be back in time to tell Winter Words audiences all about it.

There’s lots more to whet the appetite: a brand new novel from local author James Robertson and The Fish Ladder a life-affirming memoir

by Katherine Norbury, interesting debut authors from the Scottish Book Trust and an appearance from Scottish singer-songwriter Mallachy Tallack to discuss his book, Sixty Degrees North: Around the World in Search of Home.

Attracting sold out audiences across the globe; the spectacular Banff Mountain Film Festival is back for a second year, with a brand new selection of extraordinary short films from the world’s leading adventure film makers. Sold out in 2014, we advise you to book early to avoid disappointment.

Add in some crime, a dash of local history, politics, music, poetry, and even some geology, and we have the makings of the best Winter Words festival yet!

Tickets will be on sale from early December. Make sure you are on our mailing list, follow us on facebook or twitter or visit our website to stay in touch with the latest developments.

La Bohème

by Puccini Swansea City Opera Sung in English

PFT is delighted to welcome back the critically acclaimed Swansea City Opera, accompanied by a 9 piece chamber orchestra.

It’s Christmas Eve, 1940, in Paris. A young poet, an artist and a philosopher are celebrating in their flat. Then comes a knock at the door, a lost key and an accidental touch of cold hands in the dark. So begins one of the greatest operatic romances of all time.

From the irrepressible joy of their burgeoning love affair through to the unbearable heartbreak at their separation by death, only the stoniest of hearts could fail to be moved by this timeless story – whether you’re watching for the first or the 101st time!

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Puccini’s shimmering concoction of soaring vocal lines and lush orchestral melodies.

Following their visit last Spring with The Wind In The Willows, Immersion Theatre are thrilled to return with the UK Première of this witty, tongue-in-cheek retelling of the classic tale: a possessive mother who happens to be a witch; a tentative young man who happens to be a prince; and Rapunzel, a strong-willed but naïve young girl with the longest hair you’re ever likely to come across!

Rapunzel dreams of seeing the outside world when a young prince and his trusty valet come across her tower. Before the Prince and Rapunzel can have their “happily ever after”, however, they’re going to have to face the witch’s wrath and some hilarious obstacles in this unique fairy tale!

The Times

A Little Night Music, 2015

“Rodgers’ score is a seamless delight.

And Hammerstein’s lyrics are, arguably, his very best.” The Guardian New England, 1873: when a travelling carnival pitches in a small fishing village, an unlikely relationship develops between the charismatic carousel barker, Billy Bigelow, and Julie Jordan, a naïve local mill worker. Within weeks – and against everyone’s advice – the seemingly illmatched lovers are married.

But Billy’s fiery temper quickly causes problems for the newly-weds. After losing his job, Billy begins to feel hemmed in by the constraints of married life. And his financial difficulties quickly mount. The discovery that he is soon to be a father only intensifies Billy’s need to find some cash – and fast.

So when Billy’s friend, the shady sailor Jigger, suggests that robbing the local mill owner could solve all of Billy’s problems, Billy doesn’t take

“Sparkling lyrics and ravishing score.”

The Telegraph

much persuading. But the robbery goes horribly wrong – and Billy ends up risking his life, his unborn child’s future . . . and his immortal soul . . .

A dramatic testament to the enduring power of love, Carousel - described by Time magazine as “the greatest musical of the 20th century” – is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s towering achievement. Featuring a large cast and live orchestra, PFT’s flagship production for 2016 promises unforgettable musical entertainment, including June Is Bustin’ Out All Over, If I Loved You, Mr Snow – and, of course, the heartrending You’ll Never Walk Alone.

If you loved our previous productions of Broadway classics, such as My Fair Lady, Hello Dolly! and Kiss Me, Kate, you’ll love this!
