Kidnapped is a riotous re-telling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure novella jam-packed with 20th century pop music and 18th century romance. Performed by a dynamic ensemble of actor-musicians, it is a colourful coming-of-age story - shot-through with Stevenson’s trademark blend of poetry, humour and heart.

Join Davie as he navigates murderous foes, Jacobite outlaws and the most inept crew of pirates this side of the Atlantic on a journey of eye-opening discovery and treasures untold.

The Tin Forest Southwest composer and musician, John Kielty, has been collecting stories and writing songs in Southwest Glasgow since January 2014. 

John’s visited Rosshall Academy, Lourdes Secondary, Craigton Primary Scool, Sandwood Primary School, Our Lady of the Rosary Primary and St Georges Primary School, Penilee. 

John's been prompted by true stories about spitfires and striking workers. He’s been stirred by tall tales of spooks and sausage suppers. He’s been inspired by the memories of an ex-Rolls Royce Hillington worker and challenged to create a love song at Penilee Community Centre. 

With a horse and cart, John took to the Southwest streets as the Rag and Bone man blowing his bugle, singing his songs and collecting the memories and wishes of the people who live, work and dream in this corner of our city. 

The result is nine original songs inspired by The Tin Forest and created with and for the people of Southwest Glasgow and beyond. 

Enjoy!

DRACULA: MINA'S RECKONING

BOOK NOW: https://www.nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/dracula#dates-and-times

2 September - 28 October 2023
Touring to Aberdeen, Glasgow, Stirling, Inverness, Dundee, Edinburgh, Coventry and Liverpool.

Under the buzzing lights of a psychiatric hospital in Aberdeenshire in 1897, Mina Murray recounts her encounters with the most terrifying of beasts: Dracula. A throng of patients listen with bated breath as they are transported to a world where immortality and ultimate power is possible, even for women - but with terrible consequences...

Not for the faint-hearted, Morna Pearson’s adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic tale transposes the action to Scotland amid the wild beauty of the landscapes of the north east which originally inspired the novel. With an all-women and non-binary ensemble cast we witness the addiction, intoxication, and empowerment of Mina.

Produced by National Theatre of Scotland and Aberdeen Performing Arts in association with Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.

A ceilidh through Scotland’s past – and present
This legendary piece of Scottish theatre tells the story of the exploitation of Scottish lands, waters and people over the centuries.

From the highland clearances to the oil boom, this is the universal tale of how the greed of a few blights the lives of many. Add a generous dose of Scottish rebellion and irreverence. Throw in some live music and a riotous ceilidh – you’ve got yourself a rollicking great night out.

Following 2015’s hugely successful restaging, this new version of The Cheviot takes the story back to its roots, visiting intimate art centres and community spaces, echoing the play’s original 1970s tour by 7:84.

Come and experience the ‘Story that has a beginning, a middle but, as yet, no end…’
