Description:
An immersive theatrical Burns experience like no other. Given unprecedented access to Burns’ private letters, we explore the man behind the legend in all his brilliance and contradictions. Through a captivating blend of his letters, poems and live music – masterfully brought to life from the archives by Scottish performer James Clements – this play invites audiences to experience Burns unfiltered, laying bare a complicated and contradictory icon. Co-created with The National Trust for Scotland and multi award-winning Fringe director Cora Bissett (June Carter: The Woman, Her Music, and Me / What Girls Are Made Of).
