Spring Tour 2008
For spring 2008, we are touring a new play by Peter Arnott, especially commissioned by Mull Theatre.
SWINDLE & DEATH by Peter Arnott
"Entertaining Scotland since 1707"
What is the secret behind this most long-lived and ridiculous theatre company? For years they have been touring their sentimental porridge of tartan and nostalgia around the Highlands... how do they manage to keep going with this Cullen skink of claymores and crudity, sgian dubhs and sexual innuendo?
Marjorie, an intrepid spy from the Scottish Arts Council, infiltrates the company to find out. And, by way of Mary Queen of Scots, the Flouers o' the Forest and a little touch of the Undead Shakespeare, she uncovers the hysterical horror at the heart of this Caledonian darkness... and what really happened that night in Ballachulish...
In their sinister and stupid celebration of all things theatrical and Scottish, Messrs Swindle and Death can promise you an evening of unfettered weirdness, leaving no cliché unpunished and no sporran unturned.
Peter Arnott is an acclaimed and award winning playwright. His previous play for Mull Theatre, CYPRUS, toured in 2005 (including a 5-week run at the Trafalgar Studios, London) and 2007, to great acclaim.
