OUTLANDISH! A comic play with songs by Callum MurThe Actorsray

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 NEW!*

Charlie is my darlin’
Will ye no come back again
The Skye Boat Song
&c

“Why was BPC absent? Because he was busy drinking, eating and shagging his way round France and Italy – like his father, James Francis Edward Stuart, before him. Look, these were not men to be trusted. It should’ve been totally obvious.”

OUTLANDISH! is at The Actors, 4 Prince’s St, Kemp Town, Brighton, BN2 1RD at 7.30pm on 11, 12 and 13 October 2024.
