GENRES
Our new brochure is organised
by month, with highlighted
productions at the beginning of
each month followed by each
show in chronological order.
You’ll find shows of all genres
in each month, and they will be
marked at the bottom of each
entry. The genres are:
DANCE DRAMA
CLASSICAL COMEDY
CREATIVE
LOCAL+SHOWCASE
MUSIC MUSICAL
ACCESS
A full list of our accessible
performances can be found
at the back of the brochure.
If you have any questions
about a particular show,
please contact our Box Office.
Throughout the brochure we
use the following key:

“I’ve learned that
people will forget what
you did, they will forget
what you said but they
will not forget how you
made them feel.”
MAYA ANGELOU
I love this quote from Maya Angelou. I’ve
placed it here at the beginning of our new
brochure because over my first six months
at Eden Court we’ve been doing lots of
thinking about why we’re here; what Eden
Court achieves and who it’s for. Everything we
present on our stages, screen in our cinemas,
hang in our galleries or deliver in our projects
will elicit feelings. We’re proud of that and
proud that Eden Court is a place to see the
world differently, through other people’s
eyes and other people’s feelings.
You’ll already have noticed this brochure
looks and feels very different. We’re presenting
to you here a six-month season. By reducing
the number of brochures we produce from
three per year to two we will make significant
savings on design, print and postage. I’m
incredibly proud of my colleagues who have
worked so hard on this new look and on this
new approach to programming.
We have also changed how we lay out the
brochure. I have taken the decision to no longer
divide the brochure by genre. I don’t think it’s
right to pigeon-hole our audiences, artists and
shows. Many of the shows we present straddle
genres so instead we have laid the brochure out
in chronological order with our highlights for
the month presented at the beginning of each
section. There is more information on the other
art forms here at Eden Court and a sneak-peak
of some other shows coming-up later in 2019.
This look and feel will move online through the
Autumn and we’ll be launching a brand-new
website that will radically improve your online
experience soon.
There is so much I am looking forward to
over the coming months. In October be
sure not to miss the international dance
sensations The Trocks. In November we’re
delighted to welcome back the National
Theatre of Scotland to the Empire stage with
their retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac and
do join us at the now nationally renowned
Inverness Film Festival. Over the festive
season there’s something for everyone from
Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Lamp, Scottish
Ensemble’s Advent Concert at the Cathedral
and Scottish Ballet’s sumptuous Cinderella.
In February the critically acclaimed tour of
Fame lands in Inverness and we’re honoured
to be presenting a season of work by the
UK’s national contemporary dance company
Rambert. We conclude the season in March
with two exceptional, and utterly unique,
productions that give a flavour of where I want
our programme to head. Firstly, I’m thrilled
we’re presenting Touching the Void a brand
new adaptation of the best-selling memoir
and BAFTA award-winning film adapted by one
of Scotland’s leading playwrights David Greig
and directed by Tom Morris who made the
internationally-acclaimed stage adaptation of
War Horse. At the end of March, a total-first –
I’m delighted to announce Scottish Ballet will
launch their 50th Anniversary celebrations here
in Inverness. This is a thrill and an honour for
us and we can’t wait to share more information
with you soon.
I really hope you like the new brochure.
As ever, do let me know what you think.
Thank you for your continued support.

Joseph Haydn delighted Parisian audiences with the country
carnival atmosphere of his Symphony No 82. Likewise, Anton
Webern had a lot of fun with his witty orchestral reimagining of
six spirited German Dances by Schubert. Scholarship suggests
that the C Major Oboe Concerto may not be by Haydn, but its
singing melodies and fizzing exuberance are the ideal match
for Leleux’s animated playing all the same. He closes with the

Cyrano de
Bergerac
NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND,
CITIZENS THEATRE AND ROYAL LYCEUM
THEATRE EDINBURGH CO-PRODUCTION
Wed 07 - Sat 10
Love. War. And Noses.
The hugely romantic Cyrano de Bergerac is
given a Caledonian heart in a new production
of Edwin Morgan’s Glaswegian-Scots translation
by Citizens Theatre Artistic Director Dominic
Hill. Brian Ferguson plays the irresistible Cyrano
de Bergerac, with breathtaking set design by
Tom Piper and costumes from the iconic British
fashion designer Pam Hogg.
The brash and flamboyant Cyrano’s low selfimage
prevents him from revealing his love for
Roxanne. He lends his poetic skills instead to
the outwardly handsome Christian, who wins
Roxanne’s heart through his passionate ghostwritten
letters. Throughout his adventurous life,
Cyrano continues to put quill to parchment,
risking his life in the process, to express his
true feelings.
A fresh take with a dash of panache on the
enduringly popular period piece, first seen in
the classic production by Communicado 25
years ago which premiered at Eden Court.
Contains strong language.
Written by Edmond Rostand.

HIGHLIGHTS
Award-winning director Matthew Richardson (The Devil
Inside 2016) and Olivier Award-winning designer Jon Morrell
revive their powerful production of Verdi’s masterpiece.
Set in a dark and dangerous underworld where cruelty and
inhumanity are rife – and women are objects merely played
with and discarded – Rigoletto tells a tragic tale of seduction,
revenge and a father’s suffocating love for this only daughter.
Verdi’s score illuminates this darkness with some of the bestloved
music in opera: from the aching naivety of Gilda’s first
love to the rousing and unforgettable ‘La donna è mobile’.
Internationally-acclaimed baritone Aris Argiris heads up a cast
of exciting talent including Lina Johnson, much-praised for
her Gilda in Trieste in 2016, and award-winning British tenor
Adam Smith. Rumon Gamba conducts.

Life is a Dream
RAMBERT
Thu 21 + Fri 22
In a run-down rehearsal room, a director
drifts off to sleep with images of the day’s
rehearsals running through his mind. In
his dreams the play is revisited, recast and
replayed, and fantastic images of worlds far
beyond his room appear.
Life is a Dream is a spectacular new dance
show from the Olivier Award-winner Kim
Brandstrup, the choreographer behind
Rambert’s Transfigured Night. Dramatic,
lyrical dancing from Rambert’s worldclass
ensemble, dream-like imagery from
legendary filmmakers the Quay Brothers
and a live orchestra playing the rich music
of Witold Lutoslawski combine to transport
you into an otherworldly atmosphere.
Rambert is one of the world’s leading
independent dance companies and we
are thrilled to welcome them back to the
Highlands as one of only three Scottish dates.

Glasgow Girls
RAW MATERIAL IN ASSOCIATION

Thu 7 – Sat 9
The life-affirming, song-and-dance-filled
musical drama, based on the true story of
seven teenagers, whose lives change forever
when their friend and her asylum-seeking
family are forcibly taken from their home to
be deported. The young women take a stand
and fight for the rights of their friend and,
ultimately, for the rights of all children
of asylum-seekers.
This potent political drama uses uplifting songs,
music, dance and humour to tell the Glasgow
Girls’ tale. Its universal appeal and ecstatic
audience response ensured it was a massive hit
at Edinburgh Fringe 2016, selling more tickets
than any other show in the festival.
Conceived for the stage and directed by
Cora Bissett. Book by David Greig.

Based on the book by Joe Simpson
Adapted by David Greig
Directed by Tom Morris
What happens when you look death squarely in
the face and how do you find the strength to crawl
back towards life?
Joe Simpson’s best-selling memoir, turned BAFTAwinning
film, charts his struggle for survival in the
Andes in 1985.
The heart of the story is Joe’s mental battle as
he teeters on the brink of death and despair in a
crevasse from which he can’t possibly climb to
safety. Alongside this is the appalling dilemma of
Simon Yates, perched on an unstable snow-cliff,
battered by freezing winds and desperate to rescue
his injured climbing partner who hangs from a rope
below him. Tom Morris (War Horse, The Grinning
Man) directs the first stage adaptation of this
nail-biting adventure by award-winning writer
and Artistic Director of The Lyceum, David Grieg
(The Events, The Suppliant Women).
