Details

A small Scottish village and a shipwreck ... But this ship is different, its wrecked near the coast and its cargo was all whiskey! The villagers "recover" much of the cargo and hide it around the village as the authorities come in and try and recover it. This new adaptation is a tribute to the feisty, fearless all-female touring companies of the post-war years. Witness the Pallas Players as they play all the hilarious characters from Mackenzie's tale in an innovative and beguiling play that breathes fresh life into a well-loved masterpiece.
