Dundee Rep
Disappearing Act
Scottish producing theatre in existential danger
Scotland’s producing theatre sector, which includes the Traverse and the Lyceum, is in imminent danger of collapse unless it can take collective action on a number of different fronts, according to a major new report.
Oor Wullie
★★★☆☆ Sparky:
Oor Wullie, the touring musical from Selladoor, Dundee Rep and DC Thomson has moments of comic brilliance. However, it never quite coheres into a wholly convincing story.
Quinn cast as Wullie
Cast announced for Oor Wullie tour to King’s:
Full casting has been announced for the world premiere production of Oor Wullie, coming to the Edinburgh King’s in January 2020, with Martin Quinn taking on the iconic lead role.
Oor Wullie for King’s
New musical set for Scottish tour:
A new musical based on DC Thomson’s comic strip Oor Wullie will tour to the Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre in January 2020.
The Last Queen of Scotland
★★★☆☆ Urgent:
There is undeniable promise in The Last Queen of Scotland. It is told in a voice largely absent from the stage, and presents a story which seems to have been largely forgotten, but remains desperately contemporary in so many ways.
