National Theatre of Scotland

Cool! The National Theatre of Scotland's Touring Ensemble rolled into Sanquhar this week - most of them managed to make it into the bookshop between shows and it was lovely to meet them. Special thanks to Georgina who kept coming back and probably had to hire an extra truck to get back to London!
Caught the last performance of Mancub on Wednesday evening - it was fast, funny, passionate, moving and tender. Three actors playing a string of different characters, switching characters fluidly with the most amazing skill. Mancub was aimed at over 12's and captured the moods and torment of a teenage boy dealing with adolescence - full of angst and with lashings of humour, it was a real treat - well done NTS!
