Thunderstruck

Past event at Scottish Storytelling Centre

Sat 03 Aug

Entry from £14

The Herald Angel Award-winning smash hit of modern Scottish theatre returns to the Fringe for a fifth successive year. The tragic, comic and epic tale of the greatest bagpiper that ever lived, a Pitlochry bin man who rocked tradition, flew beyond the summit of his art and changed Scottish music forever. Whatever notions you have of bagpipes, leave them at the door. 'A stunning, staggering piece of modern Scottish folk theatre' ***** (BritishTheatreGuide.info). 'Elucidating, charming and rip-roaringly inspirational' ***** (TheQR.co.uk).
