The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart
31st May and 1st June 2012
One wintry morning Prudencia Hart, an uptight academic, sets off to attend a conference in Kelso in the Scottish Borders. As the snow begins to fall, little does she know who or what awaits her there.
Come and be swept along on Prudencia’s enchanting dream-like journey of self discovery, filled with magical moments, devilish encounters and wittily wild karaoke.
Inspired by the Border Ballads, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart will move and amuse as the peculiar twists in the tale unfold around you. Watching the show with refreshment to hand is strongly encouraged.
National Theatre of Scotland cannot be held responsible in the event of any member of the audience losing their head, their heart, their shoes or their very self during the course of the performance.
Recommended for ages 14+

Good to hear of a return - and will they be persuaded to bring "Calum's Road" too? too much of southern Scotland is seen as an annexe to northern England by those safely housed in the central belt - of perhaps it is still considered the Debateable Land?
ReplyDeleteIt's more like the Dalbeattieable lands...
