the 5th of November saw our team performing in the old Alloa and Greenside Cemetery.  A wonderful double showing for the closing of the Alloa Homecoming events.  The show opened with the Alloa witch trials and saw the unfortunate Maggie Duchall condemned to die but a carousing sing song with the Misses Paton two centuries later, to a shower of fireworks soon cheered us all up. The closing scene will always be remembered by cast and audience as we stood in the Erskines private mausoleum. A fitting tribute to a wonderful setting and inspiring place.

Tullibody – Friday 4th September 2009

Theatre performances will take place in the atmospheric surroundings of the old kirkyards of Alloa, Alva and Tullibody. The events will be staged by award-winning ‘The Walking Theatre Company‘, which is based in Argyll and committed to creating theatre work that gives access to Scotland’s dramatic landscapes and amazing history for all people in all locations. They encourage their audience to get involved in the performances. The performances in our kirkyards will focus on some of the people who are buried there and who are ‘brought back to life’ to tell their stories.
