UNSPOTTED SNOW
Saturday 27th April
7:30PM
£10/£8 conc.
11+
Set partly on the barren ice floes of the Arctic and partly in the stultifying drawing room of Lady Jane Franklin, Unspotted Snow is a “ripping yarn” - a bold and adventurous tale of tragedy, mishap, folly, arrogance, madness and betrayal, Victorian heroism … and ruthless news management.
Come along with Mull Theatre to explore and discover the hazy, crazy half-truths, rumours and scandals which besmirched the unspotted snow of the great white north.
A new play based on the tale of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to discover the North-West Passage and it's extraordinary 170-year legacy.

THE CHEVIOT, THE STAG AND THE BLACK BLACK OIL
A ceilidh through Scotland’s past – and present
This legendary piece of Scottish theatre tells the story of the exploitation of Scottish lands, waters and people over the centuries.
From the highland clearances to the oil boom, this is the universal tale of how the greed of a few blights the lives of many. Add a generous dose of Scottish rebellion and irreverence. Throw in some live music and a riotous ceilidh – you’ve got yourself a rollicking great night out.
Following 2015’s hugely successful restaging, this new version of The Cheviot takes the story back to its roots, visiting intimate art centres and community spaces, echoing the play’s original 1970s tour by 7:84.
Come and experience the ‘Story that has a beginning, a middle but, as yet, no end…’
Recommended Age Guide: 14+
Presented by the National Theatre of Scotland in association with Dundee Rep Theatre and Live Theatre, Newcastle. Based on the original production by Dundee Rep Theatre.

'A Theatr Mwldan Production'.
This sublime, critically acclaimed and multi award-winning collaboration between two adventurous virtuoso musicians - Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita - delivers a stunning exhibition of world-class musicianship.
Drawing deep on their own diverse traditions and transforming them with remarkable synergy, Catrin and Seckou have built a formidable reputation for extraordinary performances. Following the huge success of their debut release, their long-awaited second album 'SOAR' released in April 2018. The album takes flight on the wings of the osprey, the magnificent bird of prey recently returned to Wales after centuries of absence, which makes its annual 3,000-mile migration from the coasts of West Africa to the estuaries of Wales, soaring like music and dreams over man-made borders, on its innate and epic journey of endurance.
Entrancing, mesmeric, intricate and ethereal, this is remarkable music and a thrilling live experience.
"an emotional demonstration of how two virtuoso musicians triumphantly bring different cultures together"
5* Robin Denselow, The Guardian
" ... SOAR is about as near to perfection as is possible."
5*, Dave Haslam, RnR Magazine
