Verbatim, Historical
The Burns Project
An immersive theatrical Burns experience like no other. Given unprecedented access to Burns’ private letters, we explore the man behind the legend in all his brilliance and contradictions. Through a captivating blend of his letters, poems and live music – masterfully brought to life from the archives by Scottish performer James Clements – this play invites audiences to experience Burns unfiltered, laying bare a complicated and contradictory icon. Co-created with The National Trust for Scotland and multi award-winning Fringe director Cora Bissett (June Carter: The Woman, Her Music, and Me / What Girls Are Made Of).
