OUTLANDISH! A comic play with songs by Callum Murray

It’s the summer of 1746. Bonnie Prince Charlie has fled to the Outer Hebrides, closely pursued by 2,000 redcoats. There, a local girl, Flora Macdonald, agrees to guide him to safety. And so a myth is born.

But what if her motives were less pure than the myth suggests? What if the rescue was more mishap than heroism?

OUTLANDISH! is a camp, comic, musical subversion of a tale we think we know, set against a reign of terror in which no one declares which side they’re on, everyone is out for themselves, and in which the sentimental power of a spurious Jacobite song can change the course of history.

FEATURING LIVE MUSIC, BOTH TRADITIONAL AND ORIGINAL!
