‘Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life.’ At the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, junior-school teacher Miss Jean Brodie is famously, in her prime. Each year, Brodie selects her ‘set’. The crème de la crème of girls whom she will shape through art and politics, stories of sexual liberation and titillating glimpses of the women they could become. In return, she demands utter loyalty from them all. Witty, seductive and swirling in contradictions, Brodie’s mythical ability to invent her own truths and manipulate her girls ultimately leads her to risk everything. In an adaptation by David Harrower, which sharpens the knives of Spark’s extraordinary work, and with a cast lead by Gayle Rankin ( Glow, House of The Dragon ), this visceral production looks head on at our enduring moral fascination with such a beguiling and dangerous character.

Former Wet Wet Wet frontman turned hugely successful solo artist and stage performer Born Mark McLachlan in Clydebank in 1965, Marti Pellow formed Wet Wet Wet when he was only 17. The band went on to score huge hits in the UK and further afield with Wishing I Was Lucky, Goodnight Girl, A Little Help From My Friends, Sweet Little Mystery and more.

This is the dressing room of every show Kally and Steinvör have ever been in - past, present and future. A 60+ coming-of-age story, Revel is a dance-theatre piece that combines physical theatre, dance, dialogue and music. We move between the real relationship in the dressing room as they get ready (always getting ready...), and surreal inner worlds that reflect the losses, gains and adjustments of ageing. Two performers navigate their memories and the shifting realities of their bodies and minds with wry humour as they prepare to step once more onto the stage. In a world where we battle with who we are told to be, who we wish we were, and who we actually are, the challenge of this show is learning to accept and embrace ourselves as we are now. Revel is about adaptability, resilience, loss, irreverence, joie de vivre - and dancing. There will be a post show Q&A following the performance led by Kally Lloyd-Jones and Steinvör Palsson.
