“Where are our roots? How do we make ourselves at home? How does the stranger come to feel at home? Maybe we need to remind ourselves of what a family is, what it could be, and what it stands for, to begin to make sense of the wider world.”

A brilliant photo by Stacie (see https://staciereflects.com/) of my alcoholic vicar in "The Red Lion" at this year's #DunsPlayfest.
The play, the third (& last?) part of a comedy series that have premiered at the last three festivals was written & directed by a hugely talented young man Jamie Mein (who was sitting his Highers the same week...)

I've been writing an end of project report for one of the funders of this year's DunsPlayfest. The main festival in 2026 had 100 events across 7 venues and 9 days. I was involved in lots, but there were many bits that I wasn't. Just discovered a brilliant bit that I missed.
We got a grant to commission seven new plays by local new writers and then see them staged.

One of the theatre companies that returned to DunsPlayfest this year was Slash House. Another brilliant piece of new writing excellently presented. Well worth seeing if they decide to tour it. See the independent review here:
