The Youth group is performing an original play written specially for them by budding young playwright, Fergus Crystal of Tombuie, Aberfeldy. The idea to write a play for the six young actors Roddy Macaskill, Emma Carmichael, Corrie Dougall, Kevin McNiven, Shona Reed and Neil Ford, came about when first-time director Polly Pullar found it impossible to find a play to suit her enthusiastic team.
“Within weeks Fergus had come up with a comedy sketch on modern life written in Scots - a simple storyline based on the lives of an unmarried single mother, her three children, their grandfather and a Big Issue seller,” explained Polly.
The One Act Play Festival runs at the Birnam Institute on 1/2/3 March each night at 7.30pm. Tickets will be available locally - advanced purchase is advised.
Interview is performed on Thursday 1 March at 7.30 and The Secret Secret Millionaire will have its premiere at Birnam on Friday 2 March. It is also being entered into the Scots Salver Original Playwriting Competition.
