home again. An exhilarating tale of a life lived on the edge. This radical new co-production between the
National Theatre of Scotland and Dundee Rep Ensemble, featuring a cast of 19, promises a mix of trolls,
madmen, dancing girls and live music.
The regular ensemble of actors has been joined with five additional members and five second year students
from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

THE NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND ON TOUR
WITH MOLLY SWEENEY AND A SHEEP CALLED SKYE
The National Theatre of Scotland is rolling into town again. Following last year’s hugely successful tour of three
plays in towns and villages across Scotland, the company is once more on the move. This year, the National
Theatre of Scotland, in association with The Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow, revive Brian Friel’s powerful drama,
Molly Sweeney. Touring with this show is a brand new show for children, an adaptation by Nicola McCartney of
S.R. Harris’s internationally acclaimed book A Sheep Called Skye.
From Lochinver in the north to Sanquar in the south, from Dervaig in the west to Auchtermuchty in the East, the
National Theatre of Scotland company will be visiting village halls and community centres, bringing with them
their own raked seats to help transform local venues into spaces for high quality Scottish theatre. The company
takes residency in each community, combining performances for children, young people and adults with a
comprehensive workshop programme.
A SHEEP CALLED SKYE
Adapted by Nicola McCartney from the book A Sheep Called Skye by S. R. Harris.
Directed by Andrew Panton
Designed by Becky Minto
Lighting Designed by Simon Wilkinson
Music Composed by Jon Beales
Animations created by Ailie Cohen
The cast includes: Paul Christie, Ailie Cohen and Cara Kelly.
Skye the sheep is used to being different. She never knew her mother and was brought up in a B&B, not a farm.
She longs to discover the place where someone like her, a sheep who doesn't feel…well…sheepish, really
belongs. As part of this quest, she decides to turn herself into a tourist attraction selling scarves and tea-towels
in windy car parks - and business isn’t baaad at all. This family show features live music and puppets.
Recommended for children aged 5+
A National Theatre of Scotland production.
MOLLY SWEENEY
Written by Brian Friel.
Directed by Gregory Thomson
Designed by Ellen Cairns
Lighting Designed by Stuart Jenkins.
Cast includes: Cara Kelly and Michael Glenn Murphy
Molly Sweeney has been unable to see since she was a child. Her lack of sight has neither held her back,
nor lessened her sheer joy at everyday life. As a girl, her father taught her to recognise by touch every
flower, shrub and tree in their walled garden so that she was at ease with her world…
Following a critically-acclaimed run at the Citizens’ Theatre Glasgow in 2005, the National Theatre of
Scotland presents Molly Sweeney in a nationwide tour this autumn. Created by Brian Friel, one of Ireland’s
foremost playwrights, Molly’s emotional journey is at the heart of one of our most thought-provoking modern
dramas.
Imaginatively staged, the National Theatre of Scotland’s Molly Sweeney brings audiences into a touchingly
intimate relationship with the play’s unfolding events.
Cara Kelly reprises her award-winning performance (Best Female Performance, Critics Awards for Theatre
in Scotland) in the title role alongside Michael Glenn Murphy as Frank. Gregory Thompson (Best Direction
CATS), Artistic Director of Glasgow’s Tron Theatre, returns to direct.
Molly Sweeney is presented by the National Theatre of Scotland in association with the Citizens’ Theatre.
RUPTURE
Written and directed by Davey Anderson
Designed by Will Holt
Music Composed by Ross Ramsay
Lighting Designed by Lizzie Powell
Audio Visual designed by Kim Beveridge
Cast includes: Brian Ferguson, Molly Innes and Owen Whitelaw
Rupture is the latest piece of work to emerge from the National Theatre of Scotland Workshop. It is a dark,
funny, intriguing thriller that takes a scalpel to the shiny surface of city life, exploring the links between private
security and personal trauma, migrant workers and lonely consumers, strange desires and societal secrets.
The National Theatre of Scotland previously toured The Arches’ production of Snuff, written and directed by
Davey Anderson, with Brian Ferguson in a leading role.
Davey Anderson is currently Director in Residence at the National Theatre of Scotland. He won the Arches
Award for Stage Directors 2005. His recent work as writer, director, composer or dramaturg includes Rocketville
(Oran Mor), Snuff (The Arches and touring), Falling (site specific in Glasgow), Home Glasgow (site specific in
Glasgow), Black Watch (University of Edinburgh Drill Hall and touring).
The National Theatre of Scotland Workshop is the innovative heart of the National Theatre of Scotland. It
exists to invigorate our notion of theatre. Acting as a virtual laboratory within the New Work department, the
Workshop generates and develops new projects.

Taken from the book The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean (Sandman series, Mirror Mask)
and brought to life by a team of innovative and celebrated theatre-makers led by Vicky Featherstone (National
Theatre of Scotland Artistic Director and Chief Executive) and Julian Crouch (Improbable), the production won a
TMA Award for Best Show for Children and Young People and is back by popular demand following two
successful tours in Spring and Autumn 2006, before heading off to New York in the Autumn. (Full info below)
Vicky Featherstone, Julian Crouch and composer Nick Powell collaborate with a cast of puppets and actors,
musicians and scenery to create an intensely visual, raucous and scratchy, joyous and scary exposé of how
anarchic wolves really are.
The Wolves in the Walls is the story of Lucy, who hears creeping, creaking, crumpling noises coming from
behind the wallpaper and knows that there are wolves in the walls of her house. Her mother is busy making jam,
her father is busy playing the tuba and her brother is busy playing computer games. They say the noises are
mice, or rats or bats. But they are wrong and she is right and everyone knows when the wolves come out of the
wall it’s all over . . .
The Wolves in the Wall is for anyone over 5 who’s not easily scared.
A National Theatre of Scotland production. Originally created with Improbable.

VENUS AS A BOY
Adapted by Tam Dean Burn from the novel by Luke Sutherland
Performed by Tam Dean Burn with live music by Luke Sutherland
Directed by Tam Dean Burn and Christine Devaney
Designed by Pamela McBain
Lighting Designed by Lizzie Powell.
Adapted from Luke Sutherland’s acclaimed novel and performed by award-winning actor Tam Dean Burn with
live music composed and performed by Luke Sutherland, Venus as a Boy is an explosive and haunting story
about the miraculous power of sex.
In a room in Soho, a dying man is turning gold. He has a gift. With just one touch or kiss, he can reveal a
glimpse of heaven in all its glory. Some call him Cupid. Or Venus as a Boy.
Journeying from his turbulent childhood in Orkney - haunted by the girl he betrayed and the lover he never
escaped - and travelling south through the Highlands and Edinburgh, he finds himself in the seedy underbelly of
Soho, where pimps and hormones and a transsexual called Wendy finally break him.
Venus as a Boy is following the journey of the novel. The production arrives at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at
The Traverse, having visited Orkney and Ullapool in June and reaching Soho Theatre, London in September.
Luke Sutherland is a writer and musician who grew up in the Orkneys. His first novel, Jelly Roll was shortlisted
for the 1998 Whitbread First Novel Award and was followed in 2002 by the critically acclaimed Sweetmeat.
Venus as a Boy is his third and latest novel, and is currently being adapted for the screen in association with
Film 4. Luke was a founder member of the band Long Fin Killie, with whom he released three albums. He has
also played violin with Mogwai and his most recent music project is Music A.M.
Tam Dean Burn is an acclaimed Scottish actor who was most recently seen on stage in the National Theatre of
Scotland’s production of Tutti Frutti. Recent television includes Wedding Belles, Holby City and Longford.
Tam Dean Burn has long been interested in adapting fiction for the stage. For the Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow he
adapted The Cutting Room by Louise Welsh into a two hander play which he also performed in and co-directed.
Most recently, he adapted the writings and songs of Harry Horse into a live radio play on the internet radio
station, Resonancefm.com to commemorate Horse’s work following his tragic death in January this year.
A National Theatre of Scotland Workshop and Burnt Goods co-production.
THE BACCHAE
The Bacchae by Euripides, in a new version by David Greig, from a literal translation by Ian Ruffell.
Directed by John Tiffany
Designed by Miriam Buether
Composer and Musical Direction by Tim Sutton
Associate Direction and Choreography by Steven Hoggett
Lighting Designed by Colin Grenfell
Sound Designed by Chris Shutt.
Dionysus – Icon and Hedonist - has come home with his cult of female Bacchae to clear his mother’s name. A
charismatic, forceful figure, his very presence enraptures the local women, awakening their own bacchic spirit.
They worship him and perform his sensual rituals with a fierce, animalistic devotion.
This vibrant production puts song and choreography at its core and is directed by John Tiffany, the awardwinning director of Black Watch. Returning to the Scottish stage after 16 years, in a role he was born to play,
Alan Cumming is Dionysus and Tony Curran, his nemesis Pentheus, the repressed King of Thebes.
Agave is Paola Dionisotti, Cadmus, Ewan Hooper and Tiresias is Ralph Riach. The Chorus will be played by
Michelle Asante, Lynette Clark, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Maria Mantack, Gloria Onitiri, Denise Orita, Ann-Marie
Roberts, Jessika Williams, Emi Wokoma and Sandra Yaw.
Last year Alan Cumming appeared in Martin Sherman’s Bent in London’s West End. His London roles also
include Hamlet at the Donmar Warehouse, Cabaret, La Bête, Conquest of the South Pole and seasons with the
Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre. His Broadway appearances include The
Threepenny Opera, Cabaret, Elle and Design for Living. His film roles include: X Men 2, the Spy Kids trilogy,
Eyes Wide Shut, Emma, Urbania, Nicholas Nickleby, Titus, Goldeneye and Circle of Friends. Alan trained at the
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and is well remembered in Scotland for writing and appearing in
The High Life. He has won numerous awards.

Tony Curran was last seen on the Scottish stage in 1994 in a season at The Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh.
He won Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards for his role in Andrea Arnold ‘s Red Road.
Recent films include: Shuttle, Miami Vice and The Good German.

Paola Dionisotti last appeared in Scotland in the role of Mrs Warren in Mrs Warren’s Profession at The
Royal Lyceum. She won the Stage Award for Best Actress at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Best
Actress at the Evening Standard Awards for her role in Further Than The Furthest Thing.
Ralph Riach’s latest stage role was Talbot in the National Theatre of Scotland’s production of Mary
Stuart. He has performed extensively on the Scottish stage including roles in Run for Your Wife, Lock
Up Your Daughters, Dead Men and a Christmas Carol.
Ewan Hooper has recently finished playing in The Tempest at The Royal Exchange. Other theatre
productions include: Stuff Happens (Royal National Theatre), Afore Night Come (Young Vic) and The

HALF LIFE

Night performance
Creative Director: Angus Farquhar
Co-Director: Mark Murphy

Composers: Rhodri Davies /Angharad Davies
Cast includes: Catherine Dyson, Alexandra Harrison and Eric MacLennan.
Following the hugely acclaimed Storr Project that took place in 2005 on The Isle of Skye, HALF LIFE is a major
new landscape work and the first co-production between renowned innovators NVA and the National Theatre of
Scotland.
NVA has built an international reputation for monumental art installations animating remote rural settings. For the
first time, the interventions will be staged throughout the day and a theatrical performance will take place at night
in one of Europe’s most renowned prehistoric regions. HALF LIFE offers a physical and emotive experience
which reveals the dark but inspiring mindset of Scotland’s early Neolithic inhabitants. The extraordinarily rich
heritage of Mid Argyll has a remarkable story to tell, through thousands of years of intense marking of living rock
formations and the raising and building of henges and burial complexes. It carries the beginnings of a truly
cultural landscape, looking out onto the much feared Corryvreckan, the third largest whirlpool in the world.
From 4000BC to 500BC, Kilmartin Glen operated as a unique burial and ceremonial complex. The bodies of the
deceased were subjected to protracted and complex manipulation, through generations of special practices,
before being finally laid to rest. It is this fascinating ‘dialogue with the dead’ that forms the basis for the work.
HALF LIFE starts by day, when audiences are invited to explore a series of atmospheric sites and installations
based around known and rarely seen prehistoric landmarks, over a 150 sq mile area of stunning Highland
landscape. The routes follow interpretations of recently recovered archaeological field notes, previously
unpublished, which give invaluable insight into the area. Like private diaries, they reveal some of the
breakthrough moments in contemporary archaeological thinking, bringing inspiring thinking out of the academic
world to a new audience.
Discoveries include previously unvisited cup and ring marked stones carved 3000 to 4000 years ago and
recently revealed bronze-age hill forts, encircling magnificent chambered burial cairns and configurations of
standing stones. It is the sheer density of ancient monuments that takes the breath away. With walks and bike
routes ranging from 15 minutes’ to 3 hours’ duration, an ideal visit might last 2 days for those who wish to take in
the entire programme. As well as untouched locations, NVA’s interventions will take on dense forestry
plantations, which are manipulated to create intriguing new entrances and vistas around chosen sites, while new
audio compositions enhance the smallest living sounds and micro acoustics of the natural environment.
In the evening, a powerful outdoor production will be staged in an atmospheric forest location at the entrance to
Kilmartin Glen, centred around a circular sculptural set constructed from hundreds of felled logs. Seen through
the eyes of a renowned archaeologist, in HALF LIFE the realms of the living and the dead seem to merge,
bringing to light the remarkable beliefs that focused the ritual activity in our earliest societies; beliefs that still
echo through the present landscape. The powerful creative team includes Angus Farquhar and Mark Murphy,
renowned for his previous dance choreography with V-TOL. A captivating score will be played live by harpist
Rhodri Davies and violinist Angharad Davies, both creating an extended improvised repertoire, through the use
of a remarkable range of materials including bones, slate and stones to draw subtle and unearthly sounds from
their instruments. The script for the evening performance will be written by Thomas Legendre whose recent
novel The Burning has received huge critical and public acclaim.
A National Theatre of Scotland and NVA co-production.
The Autumn US Tour and American Premieres of the award-winning productions of
Black Watch and The Wolves in The Walls.
BLACK WATCH
Following summer 2006’s sell out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a sell-out Scottish tour this Spring,
unanimous critical acclaim and a stunning audience response, the US premiere of Black Watch will be presented
by Los Angeles based UCLA Live as part of its International Theatre Festival from 18th September -14th October,
and at New York’s St Ann’s Warehouse from 20th October -11th November.
The cast for Black Watch in US: David Colvin, Ali Craig, Emun Elliott, Ryan Fletcher, Paul Higgins, Henry
Pettigrew, Paul Rattray, Nabil Stuart and Jordan Young.
The full creative team is Stephen Hoggett - Associate Director Movement, Davey Anderson - Associate Director
Music, with Set Designed by Laura Hopkins, Costumes Designed by Jessica Brettle, Lighting Designed by Colin
Grenfall, Sound Designed by Gareth Fry and Video Designed by 59 Ltd.
THE WOLVES IN THE WALLS
The Wolves in the Walls has been seen and loved by children, families and the young at heart across the UK,
winning rave reviews, playing to sell out houses and has now been invited to play at The New Victory Theater in
New York from 5 – 21 October.
The international performances of Black Watch and The Wolves in the Walls have been made possible by the
financial assistance of The Scottish Government, who have agreed to contribute £195,000 from the International
Touring Fund which aims to help the National Performing Companies spread the message of Scotland’s cultural
confidence and ambition.
The tour of Black Watch has also been supported by the British Council. The UK’s international organisation for
educational and cultural relations, the British Council builds long-term relationships between the US and the UK
and fosters appreciation of the UK’s creative ideas and achievements.
Accompanying their support for the performances, the British Council will be hosting a series of events
stimulated by Black Watch. Audiences will be given an opportunity to explore, along with leading commentators,
military personnel and artists, some of the profound issues emanating from the production: our relationship to
soldiers in the field, the nature of patriotism, the language of war and the state of the “Special Relationship”.
