Whisky Galore
21 August, 2014 @ 8:00 pm
£10
by Compton Mackenzie, adapted by Paul Godfrey
Directed by Alasdair McCrone. With Helen McAlpine, Barrie Hunter & Darren Brownlie, featuring Colin Sutherland
A night of riotous comedy as four hapless but frightfully nice actors in evening dress gather in a 1940s BBC drama studio, where they use their skills, wit, ingenuity and 100 unlikely sound effects and props to recreate the hilarious story of the valiant people of the Island of Todday. It’s WW2 and due to rationing, there is not a drop of whisky to be had. Then the SS Cabinet Minister runs aground and the crew has to abandon the cargo – 50,000 cases of the best quality export whisky!
