Synopsis: | THE BILLING OF The Callanish Stoned as a fast-moving road-movie of a play based around one nights shenanigans during Summer Solstice is accurate, but gives no hint of the painful-for-the-characters and sometimes the actors upcoming journey. Though the surface story is about a midsummer trip to Callanish, the play is really about three experiences common to everyone: family conflict, loyalty to a childhood chum, and first love. Thats a potent mixture, especially when compounded by those three being at odds with one another. Lewis Macleod, played by David Fitzgerald, finds himself at the centre of this fraught triangle, his problems increasing as the plot unfolds. | |||||

Synopsis: | Two brothers, Archie and Murdo, live in the Far North on opposite sides of a field. One brother is shrivelling away, the other eating himself to death on macaroons dipped in jam. These misfit siblings haven't spoken for years, although they share a cat. Kate is snowed in with Archie after he puts her up for the night. In the days that follow, Kate is drawn in to the tissue of lies and self-deception that keeps the brothers alive in a bond of mutual loathing, leading them to their fate with profound, funny and touching results. | |||||
