In Allan Massie's deeply insightful play, we find Sir Walter Scott at his most vulnerable. In 1826, Scott stands at the cusp of
the old and the new. He cannot know what the future and his legacy are to be. But the novelist's eye is clear and the historian-poet's love of his country is deep. Perhaps he saw more than we can yet know about this native land of ours ...

With Crawford Logan as Sir Walter Scott and soundscape by Shona Mooney and Elspeth Smellie

"The Ragged Lion" is directed by A. C. Wilson

North Country Theatre returns to Carlops with the very first show that they ever presented here - in an updated and revised form. "Home on the Range" is the epic and moving story of women from North Yorkshire on the Oregon Trail, based on their diaries and letters. This play tells the tale of daleswomen Annis Hawker, her sister May and daughter Hope and the incredible journey they make from the lead mining communities of Northern England to the Wild West of America. Told this time with live music and dance as well as North Country's now famous wit and theatrical invention the story moves from laughter to tears and back again as it takes the audience on an epic journey of the imagination.

Home on the Range is directed by Nobby Dimon.

Tickets are £8 for adults and £6 for under 16s;
