It’ s October 1941. The Hebridean islands of Great Todday and Little Todday are sunk deep in the doldrums of a spiritless wartime existence, till the S. S. Cabinet Minister runs aground during heavy fog, and by a miracle there is uisghe beatha gu leoir( whisky enough). Various young couples find the path of true love smoothed and the village schoolmaster slays his personal dragon, but the commander of the local Home Guard finds his duty becoming harder every day. Compton Mackenzie ' s immortal tale is world-famous.

Runway Theatre Company Tuesday 08- Saturday 12 May
7.30pm each evening 2.30pm Saturday matinee
Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray’ s comic film A Private Function, which centred around Betty, an adorable pig, who is being illegally reared to ensure that local dignitaries can celebrate the 1947 Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet, has been brilliantly adapted for the stage. With a deliciously infectious, toe-tapping, retro contemporary score, the result is an utterly British musical, full of eccentric characters, including our star, Betty the pig!
