#DunsPlayers are reading a script on Friday evening to see if we fancy doing the farcical play Black Comedy in the autumn. Open to all to join in or just listen.

So at the dress rehearsal this evening the police turned up after a report of "something funny going on at the hall"... Well Arsenic and Old Lace is very funny. We open tomorrow for 4 nights only!

COMING UP | Duns Players https://www.dunsplayers.org/coming-up

One thing that the article missed is that Duns Playfest has already seen a number of productions that opened at the festival go on to be more widely seen. For instance last year #DunsPlayers took 'Colonel Anne' (staged as a rehearsed reading at the first Playfest) to Edinburgh Fringe getting 85% audiences on an 8 night run.

‘Country: Scotland – Whit Like Is It?’ is playing at:
Eastgate Theatre, #Peebles (Thur 25 Jan)
Wauchope Hall, #Yetholm (Thur 1 Feb),
Hippodrome, #Eyemouth (Thurs 8 Feb)
The Eildon Centre, #Coldstream (Thurs 15 Feb).

The tour opened at the Heart of Hawick last week: Members of the audience said:
“An extraordinary show: dazzling, challenging, thought-provoking, funny and moving.”
“If you like Scotland, you will love this show”.

Scotland – Whit Like?

What is Scotland really like: touring the Borders, John McEwen leads a romp through Scotland's history and literature, from its ancient tribes to present-day politics. But it’s not just the script, the acting makes the show a must-see. McEwen peoples his one-man stage with an array of fascinating and funny characters, each with their own tale to tell and their own take on the nature of our nation.

This year is Anne Macintosh's (born of Clan Farquharson) 300th birthday, also known as Colonel Anne, who raised troops for the Jacobite cause in 1745. There is an excellent play about her at the Fringe next week. Reviews of the first night (yesterday) were very positive.

Jim Clark the Musical, a brand new musical, about Scotland's motor racing legend, ran for a sell-out three night run last year. After a minor revision, we are restaging it 7-11 June.
