Emilia Clarke (Game of
Thrones) makes her West
End debut in this 21st
century retelling of Anton
Chekhov’s tale of love and
loneliness.
A young woman is
desperate for fame and a
way out. A young man is
pining after the woman of
his dreams. A successful
writer longs for a sense of
achievement. An actress
wants to fight the changing
of the times. In an isolated
home in the countryside,
dreams lie in tatters, hopes
are dashed, and hearts
broken. With nowhere left to
turn, the only option is to
turn on each other.
Following his critically
acclaimed production of
Cyrano de Bergerac, Jamie
Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’
adaptation of Anton
Chekhov’s classic to stage.

BLAZIN' FIDDLES
Wednesday 9th November
8pm
£23
One of the world’s most
prolific fiddle groups, Blazin’
Fiddles formed for a one-off
tour of the Scottish
Highlands in 1999 and are
still raising roofs far and
wide well over two decades
later.
Encompassing a rare and
virtuosic selection of the
fiddle’s diverse Highlands
and Islands voices, with
ensemble and solo-led sets
both backed by powerhouse
guitar and piano, the Blazers
pack all the power, passion
and sensitivity of Scotland’s
traditional music into a single
show.
Whether it's a Highland
village hall or the Royal
Albert, the 2019 Scotland
Folk Band of the Year will
create a hootenanny which
reminds you why they're one
of the UK's most treasured
folk exports.

irresistible euphoria.' - Folk
