Silent Night
by Colin Crowther and Mary Crowther
Mon 15 – Sat 20 Aug
6:30pm at The Royal Scots Club V.241
29-31 Abercromby Place EH3 6QE
Based on a true story, Silent Night is set in an Anderson shelter on Christmas Eve in 1940. A family (and their pet tortoise) are sheltering during the blitz when they hear a bomb nearby and think they are awaiting the call to St Peter. It seems they may all be in for a surprise.
Tay Bridge
by Peter Arnott
Mon 15 – Sat 20 Aug
8:15pm at the Royal Scots Club V.241
29-31 Abercromby Place EH3 6QE
The highly acclaimed Tay Bridge was commissioned by Peter Arnott for the 80th Anniversary of the Dundee Rep in 2019. A homage to the victims of the Tay Bridge disaster of 1879 realised as a series of set pieces, each of the seven characters tells a tale while the ensemble acts as a chorus. It is also a clever insight into the ordinary people of Victorian Dundee, with its crippling poverty and uncertain morality. As theatre it has a magnetic premise.
