On The Island Of Aars
Festival Highlights
World Premiere
New musical comedy from the creators of The Translucent Frogs of Quuup (Guardian Best Musical 2004). A remote rock off Scotland. A windswept idyll. Or is it a giant turtle, sleeping? Morag MacMacMacMac thinks so, but she's nuts. Caught between Calvinist Ministers, wild Haggis and draconian Health and Safety regulations, will she ever find a husband?
'The funniest, nuttiest show on the fringe.' Telegraph
