The Ridge (Rehearsed Reading)
Aug

The Ridge (Rehearsed Reading)

A world engulfed by water.  A community holding back forces of evil.  The power of stories to save us.

In a post-collapse landscape where former high ground has become islands, two migrants –mother and son – arrive at Autumn Ridge. They are welcomed in a way they haven’t previously experienced and learn how the community has built a sustainable and egalitarian
way of life.

This rehearsed reading of a script by Tessa Gordziejo, directed by Rod Dixon with a cast of professional and student performers, is part of a  Support for Ambition award from Arts D&G and the first part of an exciting future project in Thornhill. Audiences are invited to join The
Ridge, hear its stories, find out more about the project and have an early input into its development.

Deiseil: Dancing In Time

Deiseil: Dancing In Time

A powerful exploration of how stepdance, Scotland’s percussive dance, was lost to us… and how its revival, drawn from Cape Breton Nova Scotia, became woven into a lifelong friendship. A compelling journey across centuries of tradition told through fiddle, feet, Gaelic song and story, in an immersive performance which draws you into the heart of a rich heritage.

Deiseil means ‘ready’ in Scottish Gaelic: be ready for a mesmerising reflection on how issues of culture, identity and connection still resonate through society today. Groundbreaking new work from award-winning director Gerry Mulgrew (six Fringe Firsts), dance Alison Carlyle and musician Amy Geddes.

We are delighted to be joined for the post-show Q&A by Emily Smith, singer/songwriter and Gaelic Development Officer at Dumfries & Galloway Council.

The show received standing ovations at sold out performances at Edinburgh Fringe ‘25 and Celtic Connections ‘26

“Joyous and eductional - such an untold Scottish Story. This deserves a wider audience!” - Audience Member

“The most joyful show… tells an important story with the lightest of touches and doesn’t put a foot wrong.” - The Scotsman *****

D&G Arts Fest: MACBETH MUET / La Fille Du Laitier

D&G Arts Fest: MACBETH MUET / La Fille Du Laitier

D&G Arts Fest: MACBETH MUET / La Fille Du Laitier
Venue: Old School Thornhill
Dates: Thursday 28th May / £6 - £14

Synopsis

Macbeth, a loyal soldier, meets three witches on the battlefield who foretell his rise to the throne. Consumed by the prophecy, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth descend into a spiral of ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed.

About the Show

Macbeth Muet is a bold and physical reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, crafted for adult audiences as well as teenagers aged 14 and up. This wordless performance offers a radically fresh perspective on Macbeth, plunging viewers into a visceral, fast-paced world of ambition, blood, and downfall.

Drawing inspiration from the silent film era, grand guignol, and melodrama, this adaptation dials the intensity up to 11. Macbeth Muet fully deconstructs the original play into a raw theatrical experience, using the body, objects as imagery, and buckets of fake blood. Entire scenes are distilled into a single glance, revealing the poetry and physicality beneath Shakespeare’s words.

It presents a world so devoid of morality that human lives seem as disposable as cardboard cups. And the excess—the blood, the scraps, the waste—is left behind for future kings to inherit.

D&G Arts Fest: TEAM VIKING /

D&G Arts Fest: TEAM VIKING / James Rowland
Venue: Old School Thornhill
Dates: Tuesday 26th May / £6 - £12

Ten years ago, my best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months to live. His last wish was to have a full Viking burial. So I gave him one.

Team Viking tells the remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how I actually managed to give my best mate the send-off he wanted. Blending storytelling, music, comedy and even a genuine Viking helmet, it’s a comic ode to death, friendship and the beautiful absurdity of life.

The show premiered in a tiny meeting room at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe and became a breakthrough hit: critically acclaimed, completely sold out, and the beginning of my career as a contemporary storyteller. Since then it has toured hundreds of times across the UK and beyond.

Now, ten years on, this modern classic returns for a special anniversary edition – as funny, raw and joyous as ever.

Team Viking is brought to you by Salam & Holohan

★★★★★ The Stage
“Joyous – heartlifting and incredibly moving.”

★★★★★ Wee Review
“Sometimes stories are better than real life.”

Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo, adapted by Simon Reade

Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo, adapted by Simon Reade
Venue: Old School Thornhill
Dates: Friday 22nd May & Saturday 23rd May 2026

The Young Theatre Makers are back, following their productions of ‘5’24’(2024) and ‘A Midsummer Night’s Moon Dream’ (2025) they return to the stage at OST with this powerful tale of the courage of youth. 

An immersive production with live music, directed by Jessica Fusco-Naish, with a small ensemble cast of 12-15 year olds, this promises to be an evening of raw and honest theatre. Set against the backdrop of World War One, it is as relevant today as it was over 100 years ago.

The Peaceful brothers, Tommo and Charlie, have a tough rural childhood facing the death of their father, financial hardship and a cruel landlord. Their fierce loyalty to each other, and the love of their mother and older brother, pulls them through, until one day they both fall for the same girl. And then the Great War comes. 

The play tells the story of teenage boys fighting a war they don’t understand for people they cannot respect, while family at home live a parallel existence waiting for their boys to return. We join the Peaceful brothers in the trenches as they tell us a story of courage, devotion, friendship and sibling rivalry on what may be one of their last nights on earth. 

This version of Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo, adapted by Simon Reade, was first performed at Nottingham Playhouse on 12 February 2022. 

Nottingham Playhouse reviews:

“The horrors of war and the joyfulness of life are bound up together in this magnificent show” ***** - The Scotsman 

“As moving as the poetry of Wilfred Owen and as painfully memorable as white-hot shrapnel...” ***** - The Sunday Herald 

“Morpurgo’s magic, a masterly adaptation by Simon Reade.... This is one hour of your own life you will never forget.” - Daily Mail
