Theatre: Nan Shepherd - Naked and Unashamed
2024-05-24 - 2024-07-06 | Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Port-Na-Craig, Pitlochry, PH16 5DR, United Kingdom
Following the success of their podcast series, A Journey with Nan Shepherd, award-winning Firebrand’s richly entertaining, funny and moving new play uncovers the extraordinary, unconventional woman behind the glamorous portrait on the Scottish five-pound note.
Directed by Richard Baron, whose previous Pitlochry Festival Theatre productions include Chicago, The Last Witch and Heritage.
Spiced with poetry, humour and romance, the play reveals the untold story of how Nan Shepherd’s experiences as author, teacher, hillwalker and lover helped shape Scotland’s recent literary history; while also solving the mystery of why a manuscript of her ground-breaking masterpiece, The Living Mountain, lay forgotten in a drawer for over 30 years.

Theatre: Footloose
2024-05-31 - 2024-09-26 | Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Port-Na-Craig, Pitlochry, PH16 5DR, United Kingdom
Revisit the ‘80s with Footloose the story of Ren McCormack, a teenage boy from Chicago, who moves with his mother, from Chicago to a small farming town, after his father abandons them. Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new high school, but what he isn’t prepared for is a ban on dancing by the town preacher, Revered Shaw Moore
With the help of Ariel, the Reverend’s rebellious daughter, and Willard, a local lad who becomes his best friend, Ren convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers dance, and in the process helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all.
Footloose is essentially a love story. Love between Ariel and Ren, the complicated love between parents and children, and the spiritual love between the religious leader of Bomont and his flock of congregants.

Theatre: Sense And Sensibility
2024-06-21 00:00 - 2024-09-27 00:00 | Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Port-Na-Craig, Pitlochry, PH16 5DR, United Kingdom
Sense and Sensibility tells the story of the Dashwood family and follows sisters Elinor and Marianne, whose lives are turned upside down when their father passes away suddenly and leaves the family home to their half–brother, John. Although instructed to take care of his sisters, John is dissuaded from his duty by his greedy wife, Fanny, leaving them, their mother and sister penniless and destitute.
They are forced to move to a cottage on a distant relative’s property in rural Devonshire. Here, the sisters experience love, romance, and heartbreak, each guided by their unique personalities—Elinor’s pragmatism and Marianne’s impassioned sensibilities.
A co-production between Pitlochry Festival Theatre and OVO, this production promises to be full of love and laughter. A fresh adaptation from award-winning Frances Poet of Austen’s treasured novel is part of the Theatre’s Summer Season brought to life a bright, bold and theatrical retelling.
Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen’s first published novel.
