NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND
FEB – JUN 2007
“The stage gained a dynamic new force in 2006” The Observer
“Few players could have arrived with such a flourish” The Herald
The first year on the road has established NTS as a major theatrical force
with a total of 100,000 people attending performances and 30,000 people
participating in Learn activities. There have been shows for children, shows
for teenagers, musicals and European classics, all produced by some of the
most exciting and brilliant people working in Scotland and beyond. During its
inaugural season NTS has won a clutch of awards and took both the Edinburgh
International and Fringe Festivals by storm.

Welcome to the NTS
spring 2007 brochure.
“Its work has proved a triumph” The Independent
Since their first performance in February 2006 the National Theatre of
Scotland has been involved in creating 28 productions in 62 different
locations. With no building of its own, NTS has performed in great theatres,
ferries and forests, airports and tower blocks, village halls and drill halls.

I hope it will inspire you to come to see the work of
NTS, our partners and co-producers. Once again our
commitment to take the best quality work to the widest
possible audience is at the fore of everything we do.
We want you to have nights or days in the theatre that
will thrill you and excite you, moments of transformation
that leave you breathless and ideas that challenge the
way you think.
These are indeed ambitious ideals, but so is the notion
of a National Theatre of Scotland, an inspirational,
world-leading, non-building based company, serving
audiences all over Scotland and beyond. Any success we
have is about how we are able to make you feel, whether
it is the mixture of pride and futility that Black Watch
leaves you with, or the joy of the Majestics singing Tutti
Frutti together. To that end the most important part of
the NTS is you, the audience. Without you none of these
moments would have existed.
I am looking forward to many more of these with this
great new season, which is a mixture of new and
challenging work and some old favourites back by
loud and popular demand. I hope you will enjoy it.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISSOCIA
Lisa Jones is on a journey. It’s a colourful and exciting off-kilter trip in
search of one lost hour that has tipped the balance of her life. The inhabitants
of the wonderful world she finds herself in – Dissocia – are a curious blend
of the funny, the friendly and the brutal. As Neilson himself puts it, “If you
like Alice in Wonderland but there’s not enough sex and violence in it,
then Dissocia is the show for you”.
LEARN MORE ABOUT DISSOCIA ONLINE:
• Mini documentary about the original
production featuring an interview with
Anthony Neilson and clips from the show
• Features on Realism, Anthony Neilson’s sister
piece to Dissocia, produced by NTS and the
Edinburgh International Festival in 2006
www.nationaltheatrescotland.com
Produced originally for the 2004 Edinburgh International Festival,
The Wonderful World of Dissocia wowed critics and audiences alike,
cleaning up at the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland.

Following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival in summer 2006, unanimous
critical acclaim and a stunning audience response, the award-winning Black
Watch is on tour.
Hurtling from a pool room in Fife to an armoured wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is
based on recent interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers
who served in Iraq.
Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch reveals what it
means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it means to be part
of the war on terror and what it means to make the journey home again.
John Tiffany’s production makes powerful and inventive use of movement,
music and song to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.
Black Watch has won a Herald Angel, a Scotsman Fringe First, a Best Theatre
Writing Award from The List and a Stage Award for Best Ensemble.
“Black Watch is an astonishing artistic whirlwind.
The world must see this play. Immediately.” The Herald * * * * *
“Brimming with breathtaking theatricality, inventiveness, style, thought
provoking intelligence, humour and heart. An unmissable piece of theatre.”
The Metro * * * * *
“Few will come away untouched by this thrilling, raw,
challenging and masterful piece of work” The Times * * * * *
“Black Watch is a glorious piece of theatre, raw, truthful, uncomfortable,
political, funny, moving, graceful and dynamic” Scotland on Sunday
“ A magnificent piece of social and political theatre.
A high point not just of the festival but of the theatrical year” The Observer

UK PREMIERE
A young couple check into a hotel with their two small children. A week passes
before the police make a chilling discovery.
In 1999, in the suburban town of Aalst, two parents murdered their children.
The ensuing high profile and dramatic trial led to much soul-searching in the
Belgian media.
In 2005 Belgian theatre company, Victoria, dramatised the case, working from
source material including statements and interviews, TV footage of the trial
and a documentary on the murder investigation.
Produced in theatres and festivals across Europe, Aalst has built a reputation
as a powerful and complex piece of modern theatre which raises disturbing
questions – questions that have no easy answer.
Aalst is a production based on real events, born in Europe, re-worked, reshaped and re-imagined for a Scottish audience by a brilliant and eclectic
creative team. Adapted by highly acclaimed novelist Duncan McLean and
directed by original creator Pol Heyvaert from the internationally renowned
company Victoria, Aalst sees a welcome return to the stage for the multiaward winning Kate Dickie (Red Road), David McKay (My Name is Joe) and
features the voice of Gary Lewis (Billy Elliot).
“The display of the reality behind murder and the criminal mind
are beautifully exposed in Aalst” RTE

FUTUROLOGY
WORLD PREMIERE
The future will never be the same again.
Futurology: A Global Revue is a black comedy that asks the only question
anyone really cares about: Is everything going to be alright?
The future’s coming towards us at a hundred miles an hour. Do you ever feel like
a rabbit caught in the headlights? The oil’s running out, the climate is changing,
China’s on the rise. But in the future we’ll have cars that run on water, smart
fridges that know what food you like, Google implanted in your head so you
never need to actually search for anything ever again. Meanwhile we’re left
wondering how to act now. Is there something we should be doing? Is it OK to
be doing nothing?
Thankfully, the powers that be have called a conference to discuss all this and
make the big decisions for us.
Futurology is the story of that conference. Delegates, economists, politicians,
protestors and mystics turn up from all over the world. PowerPoint
presentations are made. Weighty decisions hang in the balance. Meanwhile the
Mayor of the town hosting the conference is determined that everyone is going
to sample the best of the local entertainment…
Everybody seems to know what they’re doing except the delegate from the
Sandwich Islands. Her home is sinking and she just wants to know what to do for
the best. Follow Patrice, as she struggles to negotiate high politics, conference
sex and the finer points of name badge etiquette before – eventually – learning
how to play the game. But will it be enough to save her homeland?
Futurology explores the big questions with a darkly comic show packed full of
song, dance and ventriloquism.
As part of their expanding Strange Behaviour programme Suspect Culture,
in association with NTS Learn, are offering a host of engaging interpretive
activities alongside the show, ranging from an interactive blog to debate
the future, to workshops and articles by the creative team.

TUTTI FRUTTI
TUTTI
FRUTTI
BY JOHN BYRNE
“A genuine must-see
theatrical event”
NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND
FEB – JUN 2007
Twenty three years on from their slightly dodgy, single foray into the charts,
Scottish pop sensations, The Majestics, are mourning the loss of Big Jazza
- their charismatic front-man - whose Ford Sierra just collided with a bus shelter
via an unwelcome late night kebab. With a Silver Jubilee tour booked, an album
to cut and a TV documentary in the offing, can Jazza’s wee brother Danny, just
washed up from New York with only four dollars to his name, save the day?
In 1987 John Byrne’s award-winning comedy-drama, Tutti Frutti, burst onto
the nation’s TV screens, searing itself into a generation’s consciousness in the
process. For the stage John Byrne has created a hugely popular live version
of his legendary TV show and it returns following a sell out run in 2006. With
a classic Scottish cast including stars from Monarch of the Glen, Balamory,
River City and Chewin’ the Fat, Tutti Frutti is hilarious, touching and visually
spectacular. Packed with 60’s hits including Dream, Dream, Dream; Love
Hurts; and You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling, Tutti Frutti will have audiences
young and old rockin’ in the aisles.
Tutti Frutti was originally co-produced with His Majesty’s Theatre, Aberdeen.

WORLD PREMIERE
In a room in Soho, a dying man is turning gold.
He has a gift. With just one touch or kiss, he can reveal a glimpse of heaven
in all its resplendent glory. Some call him Cupid. Or Venus as a Boy.
Journeying from his turbulent childhood in Orkney, haunted by the girl he
betrayed and the lover he never escaped – and travelling south through the
Highlands and Edinburgh, he finds himself in the seedy underbelly of Soho,
where pimps and hormones and a transsexual called Wendy finally break him.
“True love was never going to be my reward… My reward is the understanding
that, for those I’ve touched, knowledge of me is knowledge of the divine.”
Adapted from Luke Sutherland’s acclaimed novel, and performed by awardwinning actor Tam Dean Burn, Venus as a Boy is an explosive and haunting

NTS WORKSHOP
NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND
FEB – JUN 2007
NTS YOUNG COMPANY
NTS YOUNG COMPANY
& YOUTH ASSOCIATES
WORKSHOP
NTS Workshop is the innovative heart of the National Theatre of Scotland
and exists to invigorate and challenge our notion of theatre.
NTS Workshop is the first port of call for any professional theatre-maker who
has a brilliant idea they’d like to investigate. Uniquely, it also gives theatremakers who are not conventionally the leaders of a creative process the
opportunity to drive their own projects.
Working with both companies and individual artists, NTS Workshop can offer
development support to a project at an embryonic stage on its journey towards
potential production.
Each year, we will select a small number of these experimental projects for
an NTS Workshop Production – a small-scale, fully realized theatrical event.
The next NTS Workshop Production is Venus as a Boy, a stage adaptation of
Luke Sutherland’s acclaimed Scottish novel, devised by actor Tam Dean Burn in
a co-production with his company Burnt Goods.
In its first year, NTS Workshop has:
• Supported the artistic development of 22 new projects;
• Co-produced Falling with Angus-based theatre company Poorboy
•
•

(in association with the Arches);
Provided professional development for 6 emergent directors
(Arches Award for Stage Directors & Directors Summer School);
Hosted an Open Space Conference for theatre practitioners and an artists
residency in Aberdeen;
Resourced FUSE, a national script search programme for unsolicited new plays;
Worked with over 450 theatre-makers.

NTS YOUNG COMPANY
IN COLLABORATION WITH MARK MURPHY
THE RECOVERY POSITION
DIRECTOR: MARK MURPHY
DESIGNER: BECKY MINTO
LIGHTING DESIGNER: LIZZIE POWELL
SOUND DESIGNER: NATHANIEL REED
A site-specific promenading production created
especially for The Bridge in Easterhouse, The Recovery
Position throws us headlong into a high-speed world
of pain, panic, and paramedics – exploring why the
‘operating theatre’ isn’t called theatre by accident.
Mark Murphy was founder and director of Vtol Dance Company;
Co-director of A Clockwork Orange and 1984 for The Northern
Stage Ensemble in Newcastle, award winning director for
the Melbourne Commonwealth Games and is the Associate
Director of outdoor performance company Walk The Plank.
NTS is committed to involving young people in the
development of its work, hence the creation of our Youth
Associate posts. Helping shape the company’s programme
and vision, Robin James from Forres, Megan McGarrigle
from Glasgow and Anthony Okill from Shetland, have
spent the last year documenting, reviewing and advising
on the shape and vision of the company from a young
person’s perspective and now we are looking for three
dynamic, enthusiastic and passionate young people aged
16-19 to become our Youth Associates in 2007.
To apply you will need to write a 250 word personal
statement explaining what theatre means to you, as well
as a 500 word review of a recent theatre performance
you have seen. You will also need to supply the name and
contact details of a referee, who should not be related to
you and who will support your application.
With extensive experience working across art forms,
Mark’s collaboration with the Young Company will create
an ambitious, thrilling, and unforgettable piece of theatre.
Closing date for applications is Friday 20th April
2007 with successful candidates able to take up
the post in June 2007. For further information and
a job description, please visit our web site or email

COMING SOON
In September 2007, the National Theatre of Scotland will be working
in collaboration with NVA, one of the UK’s foremost environmental
arts organisations which has built a strong reputation for cutting edge
landscape work, often set in geographically remote locations.
As a key part of Argyll’s participation in Highland 2007, this project is a
remarkable day and night-time performance that will spread over 150
sq. miles and celebrate the stunningly rich prehistory of mid Argyll.
Throughout September, audiences are invited to freely explore a range
of iconic locations and attend a major night time outdoor production
on a monumental forest set, constructed out of thousands of cut logs.
