Back in Argyll after a whirlwind of performances from Fort George to Stanley Mills. Fort George produced a jolly, fighting fit crowd who manfully drilled on the playground and the raised a glass to Sargent Gorden at his wedding, which given the enthusiasm of the Bride, was certainly a ‘match made in hell’. Stanley Mills proved to be a delightful venue and the debut of ‘Whispers In The Water’ really made our teams trip. Our new mill workers joined in the events, even preparing to walk the long walk to Arkwrights Mill in Derbyshire for a few weeks training.
Join us at the amazing Stanley Mills Saturday at 2pm for a wee historical romp about the site. Ladies be prepared we have a lot for you to do.
The Walking Theatre Company is gearing up for a wonderful weekend of performances. Starting off with Stanley Mills, a new venue for a new show in Perth this Saturday at 2pm.
