GHOSTS, NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND
A young man in 18th Century Glasgow, leads us on atmospheric journey of 500+ years of resistance through the streets of the Merchant City down to the River Clyde.
Download the app, plug in your headphones, and lose yourself in this poetic storytelling experience, exploring the myth of Scotland's collective amnesia of slavery and racialised wealth, of empire and identity.
Surrounded by AR visuals, haunting voices and music, Ghosts will take you on a physical and emotional journey. A lament to lives lost and an impassioned call to action in the present day. Take a socially distanced walk through the heart of modern Glasgow and see an essential vision of the city.
Written and Directed by Adura Onashile.
A National Theatre of Scotland Production.
never land, eden court theatre
A play by Morna Young. Directed by Jimmy Yuill.
A teenager lies in a coma after a near fatal car accident. Her broken body is hooked up to machines to keep her alive. She wakes in a cold, dark place - in the shadowy realm between life and death, a surreal land free from the usual constraints of time and space...
"Never Land" is the outcome of an Eden Court project dedicated to developing the production of theatre in the Highlands. The production specifically sought out actors from the Highlands who had graduated in the past five years and gave them the opportunity to work alongside established artists.
"Never Land" opened at The Beacon Arts Centre before touring Scotland. The original cast included: Benny Young, Fiona MacNeil, Rebecca Wilkie, Ewan Petrie and Chris Beaton.

Presented by the Traverse Theatre, in association with Luminate: Scotland’s creative ageing festival
What makes you ‘you’?
What makes you love someone?
And is it possible to hold onto it all when everything you share begins to disappear? … or are you just clinging to the ghost of what used to be?
Descent explores one couple’s struggle to keep their love alive in the face of the raging force of dementia. It takes an unflinching look at the guilt, the anger, and the despair they’re going through. But it also celebrates the courage, the love, the acceptance, and – even – the hope that they bring to the fight.
​
Descent was nominated for two CAT'S awards, and won a Spirit of the Fringe award after a run at the Edinburgh Festival.
