A Voyage Round the Stories of Neil Munro
The irrepressible captain of The Vital Spark and his ramshackle crew have become some of Scotland's best-loved characters since they first appeared in 1906. This breath-taking twenty-first century take on the adventures of Para Handy, his mate Dougie, engineer Macphail and cabin-boy Sunny Jim travels from a Clydesdale breakers yard to the lochs of the Highlands. With a cast led by Inverness's very own Jimmy Chisholm as the eponymous captain and with a foot-tapping live score, this modern Para Handy will be as engaging and entertaining in 2011 as the original stories were more than 100 years ago.
