Dunollie Press Shoot

The countdown is on the big event at Dunollie Castle in Oban.  Tickets are flying away and local interest is growing.  The castle and grounds will be lit and an intrepid Camerawoman is booked to film the event live.  Argyll photographer Derek Prescott held a photo shoot in the grounds to capture the spirit of Dunollie and at the centre of the piece was the replica of the Broach of Lorne.  The original is held in a secure bank vault as one of the nations treasures whilst this replica enjoys a similar status in interest and special value to Scotland.  For ticket information see our homecoming page. See you there

Fairys in The Enchanted Forest

This weekend saw magic afoot in Glenbranter as intrepid walkers turned out to cast spells, plant and protect trees and discover what trees can do for us.  As walkers magiced the midges away they discovered which Celtic tree was their guardian and discovered magic crystals, a real jolly voyage of fun

Bluebells and Honey

A bespoke play created for the Inveraray marketing group as part of their Bluebell festival was launched at Inveraray Jail by a team of intrepid TWTC actors with a cast of audience to oversee and judge the guilt of local man Robert Mitchell.  15 good men and women and true judged the accused to be guilty and as was the law the prisoner was taken down to be hanged by the neck until he was dead.

Inspired by a murder hunt around the National Trust owned beautiful Crarae Gardens, the trial set in the 1950′s was a merry romp through the legal world. Presided over by The Lord Chief Justice Colly Wobble our audience stayed on the straight and narrow and justice did indeed prevail. Hosted by the magnificent Inveraray Jail complete with gowns and wigs, the Jails own staff provided two special guest appearances in the shapely form of Matron Bracegirdle and her Warder. The pair saw to it that the prisoner was kept in chains and suitably castigated.

A great play and even better audience.
