Sailmaker is a poignant, poetic, and deeply human play that tells the story of father and son Davie and Alec, and their changing relationship as they struggle with shared loss. As they struggle with the recent loss of Alec’s mother, and Davie’s wife – t he play follows their diverging paths across the following decade, as academically gifted Alec pursues education and religion, distancing himself from his working-class background, while Davie succumbs to grief, unemployment, and apathy. Eternally at the heart of their relationship is the broken model yacht that Davie never fulfilled his promise to fix – and everything this comes to symbolise. First performed in 1982, Sailmaker is a set text for National 5 English. It remains a powerful and resonant piece for audiences of all ages. The Gaiety is excited to revive Sailmaker for new audiences in association with Beacon Arts Centre, embarking on a Scottish tour concluding at The Gaiety.

World’s Evolution is more than a dance show — it’s a journey. From our roots to the rush and rhythm of today’s world, it follows the story of humanity — our growth, our struggles, and our shared future. Do you remember where you come from? Do you know who you are? Do you know where we are going? At the core is Africa: the motherland, the origin, the spark. Through movement, World’s Evolution explores how far we’ve come and dares us to ask where we’re headed. It’s a space to reflect, to confront the now, and to dream of a world where we move freely and together. Fusing street dance styles like Hip-Hop, Krump, Popping and the deep grooves of African and Caribbean dance, this show embarks you on a movement journey that is bold, experimental, and emotionally engaging. Brought to life by THREE60, a bold collective who continuously pushes the boundaries of the dance landscape in Scotland and beyond, World’s Evolution honours the power of movement cultures in shaping today’s world.
