Synopsis:
Six-year-old Georgia's dearest friend is Mrs Scott (Scottie) who lives nearby with her beloved cat, Norman. Georgia has promised that if anything were to happen to the old lady Georgia would take care of Norman. Fine, you might think. No, not fine. Not at all fine! Not when Dad can't stand cats& not when they make his eyes water, his chest wheeze and his nose block. And certainly not fine when one day a social worker arrives at the front door to say that Mrs Scott has had an accident and there clutched in his hand is a cat basket containing the irrepressible Norman. As adenoidal Dad himself would say (and did), "Oh, dear be!"

The play is based on an episode in Dundee's history known as The Chieftain Disaster and tells of the remarkable survival of James McIntosh one of the whalers involved.
Synopsis:
Since losing both legs to frostbite in an incident off Greenland, Toshie has kept his own council about what happened. Then he is visited at home by Captain Robert Falcon Scott who is seeking survival advice prior to his fateful expedition to Antarctica. "Tell me your story"-- to Scott a simple request. But Toshie, who could never refuse a Captain, knows that he will have to relive a journey that will take him back, not just to the stark frozen wastes of The Arctic, but into the deepest, darkest reaches of his soul.
