A rollicking comical and poignant yarn set in 1991 of a group of travelling actors from south of the Scottish border as they conquer the beautiful unforgiving landscape of the Highlands and Islands village hall circuit to bring those remote tranquil communities Frederick Knott's classic 1950's thriller Dial M For Murder. Set against a backdrop of the unpredictable Scottish weather, complete with internal company squabbling, the antics of a shepherd and his TV watching sheep dog, a flatulent ageing soap star, and a long lost caber tossing love. Add to the mix a twinkle-eyed AA man and a missing child's pet black rat called Norman, and the scene is gleefully set for back stage chaos and laugh-out loud hilarity!
