Introduction

Welcome to the National Theatre of Scotland’s programme for Autumn/Winter 08/09. It’s one of our most dynamic seasons yet – full of debuts and fi rsts, homecomings and long roads travelled, new partnerships formed and older ones strengthened.

It’s important that when people come to us with an amazing idea, we’re able to listen to them, to build a relationship with them, to give them support and ultimately to make that idea come to life. So much of what we do at the National Theatre of Scotland is about people and our latest brochure aims to refl ect that.

I hope you enjoy reading my commentary on each of the shows throughout this brochure. Every one of our productions started out as a conversation somewhere along the way. We look forward to many more of these conversations, with the artists and audiences of Scotland and beyond.

ONE GIANT LEAPCo-created and performed by Andy Cannon, Iain Johnstone and

David Trouton

“One Giant Leap is an extraordinary journey through science and astronomy. It’s a piece of theatre for everyone aged 10 and over about Galileo’s discovery that the Earth is round and how the way we look at our universe has changed since then.

As Andy Cannon, from Wee Stories, puts it: ‘The wonder of space exploration is when you’re in space and you look back and you realise that actually Earth is the wonder.’

Wee Stories are very much in the story-telling tradition. They love just sitting down one-to-one and telling you

a story both emotionally but also through humour and song. I think that audiences leave the theatre after a Wee Stories show very energised and I love that about them.

One Giant Leap will be touring round villages and smaller communities, which is the way Wee Stories like to develop their work. They begin with a smaller version of their show where they try out their ideas and if they know it can work in that context then they’re fearless about how it can work on a bigger scale.”

“One of the things about 365

that’s really thrilling is knowing that you’re making a piece of theatre about something that needs to be spoken about.

I read a book about ten years ago called ‘Dark Heart: The Shocking Truth About Hidden Britain’ by Nick Davies, which was about emotional poverty in children. I thought: ‘We need to do something about that in theatre’. But then it just sat there.

It began with a conversation with an amazing woman called Hilary Keenlyside, who was doing business planning with the National Theatre of Scotland’s senior management team. She was asking us all what we individually wanted to achieve, then she asked me what I was going to direct next because I hadn’t directed anything for ages. I said, ‘I’ve got this idea I’ve been wanting to do about young people but it hasn’t formed into anything. Maybe I should do some development on it.’

Hilary, who is also a trustee of Barnardo’s, said: ‘Well, that’s fascinating, because at Barnardo’s did you know that . . .’ and she reeled off some shocking statistics, and described these things called practice fl ats which

is where sixteen year olds go to learn to become an adult.

And that was it. It was like there had been these hundreds of ideas fl oating around and when I saw this tiny little practice fl at on stage I suddenly thought: ‘That’s it! I now know what to focus on. I have a central image for the play to develop from.’

365 is about the moment that a young person who has spent their life in care becomes an adult. If you’ve been in care, the moment you become an adult, which is from age 16 onwards, you’re virtually cut off from any of the support you’ve had in your life.

When these children get the keys to these practice fl ats, of course, fi rst of all it’s a place to have a party and that makes you become the most popular person. But a lot of loneliness goes along with it as well. There’s a lot of learning about how to manage living on your own but there’s also a kind of silence. Which means you’re going to have to face what your past has been – or ignore it.

Ultimately, 365 is about our need for stories.”

“When I started at the National Theatre of Scotland one of the fi rst conversations I had was with Gill Robertson, the Artistic Director of Catherine Wheels Theatre Company, about how we could work together. Something

Wicked This Way Comes is the result of those conversations.

It’s from the novel by Ray Bradbury and we discovered that Ray Bradbury himself had written a stage adaptation of it. That was a real bonus for us, because obviously Ray Bradbury is such an iconic fi gure in literature, and also in fi lm. I feel really thrilled that we’re able to put his own adaptation of the piece on stage.

It’s something Gill’s wanted to turn into a piece of theatre for ages and what’s great is the space within this adaptation for her to weave her Catherine Wheels magic into the story telling.

What I love about the story is the darkness. It’s genuinely scary and really terrifying. It’s set in Middle America, a world which we all have in our cultural DNA. It’s very evocative of that fairground world of clowns and carousels. It’s a world that you can become really obsessed with.

Gill’s productions just ooze this extraordinary confi dence and joyfulness. She always gets a fantastic performance style out of her actors, really front foot forward – so I’m excited about what Something Wicked is going to be like as a piece of theatre.”

19th - 27th November

Written by Paul Higgins

Directed by John Tiffany

“When John Tiffany and I started at the National Theatre of Scotland, one of the things we wanted to do was to start developing writers. So earlier in 2008 we had a ‘writers’ jamboree’ and worked with eleven writers, most of whom hadn’t had their work professionally performed. It was an opportunity for us to connect with those writers, to develop their work and to get to know them.

We asked Dominic Hill, Artistic Director of the Traverse, to come and do it with us. By the Thursday of that week, John and Dominic and I had agreed to put on some of the work we had developed. By the Friday we’d worked out how we could stage four of these plays and decided to do them as a co-production between the National Theatre of Scotland and the Traverse.

I think it’s so important to create a culture where people are genuinely fl exible, that even though we’re planning big shows, we always have this space where we can react so quickly.

The fi rst play is called Cockroach, which I’m directing. It’s by a young writer called Sam Holcroft and it’s a story about the brutalisation of war. The play is set in a school and deals with the deterioration of the relationships and the hopes and dreams of the kids in this school.”

“The two in the middle are shorter plays and Dominic’s directing them both. We’re presenting the plays as a double bill so there will be one before the interval, and one after.

The fi rst one’s called The

Dogstone by Kenny Lindsay and is the story of a father and son. It’s about the comedy and humility and tragedy of their relationship. It’s beautifully written and very poetic.

The other play is Nasty, Brutish

and Short and is written by Andy Duffy. He went to see some theatre - he hasn’t told us what - and he thought: ‘That’s rubbish, I can do better than that!’ so he wrote a play. It’s about two vulnerable teenagers and their search for something they can call a family. It’s brutal and modern; quite a tough piece.”

“Finally, there’s Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us by the actor Paul Higgins. He was in the original production of Black Watch and played the Writer and Sergeant. John Tiffany, who directed him in Black Watch, will be directing this. It’s the fi rst play Paul’s written and it’s a dark, dark comedy about a Glasgow family and religion.

We’re doing this whole season in the round at the Traverse so that everything is focussed on the writing and the actors. None of them have had their work professionally produced before. It’s a great way for us to present four new pieces together like this as it takes the pressure off one individual piece to be the Big New Play.”

“Be Near Me is the story of a

priest who goes to Ayrshire in

search of himself. He goes about

it in a slightly immature way

and gets into a compromising

situation with a young man that

he’s been teaching at school.

Then his world collapses as the

community rises up against him.

John Tiffany and I have been

fans both of Ian McDiarmid

and of Andrew O’Hagan for

ages. In fact, since I began

at the National Theatre of

Scotland we’ve been talking

with Andrew O’Hagan about

working together. We had also

been thinking that it would be

absolutely amazing to get Ian

McDiarmid to work in Scotland

again.

Then completely by co-

incidence, Ian McDiarmid, who

had just seen Black Watch,

met John and handed him an

adaptation that he’d quietly

been working on of Andrew

O’Hagan’s novel Be Near Me. He

was very keen for us to read it,

which of course we did, and it

was brilliant. And we gave it to

Andrew and he loved it.

It’s a very emotional, dark, sad

piece but incredibly funny as

well because the priest himself

is quite arrogant and snobby.

He has ideas above his station,

as does his housekeeper. There

are these fantastic humorous

scenes about food and wine and

about how they’re better than

everybody else.

Andrew O’Hagan is one of

Scotland’s great writers. He

writes about Scotland with

such beauty and insight. He’s

obsessed and in love with

Scotland but he also shines his

searchlight onto many things.

Ian McDiarmid is an

extraordinary performer. He ran

the Almeida Theatre in London

for twelve years, and he has

worked continuously in very

high profi le productions. To be

able to bring that experience

back to the stage in Scotland is

absolutely amazing for us.”

DOLLSAdapted from the fi lm by Takeshi Kitano with permission of Offi ce Kitano Inc

Directed by Carrie Cracknell

“Dolls is a very tender, very fragile tale of love and devotion. It’s something that we’ve been developing for a long time with a young director called Carrie Cracknell.

I fi rst met Carrie when I was Artistic Director of Paines Plough, the new writing touring theatre company. She has since become the Artistic Director at the Gate Theatre in London.

Dolls is based on a Japanese fi lm that interweaves three folk tales with this amazingly rich and stunning cinematography. There isn’t much dialogue or spoken language, so it’s all about the visuals. There’s this really strong image of two lovers walking through eternity bound together with a red cord. That’s what drew Carrie to it and made her want to re-imagine the fi lm as a piece of theatre.

Last year Carrie worked on Dolls

for a week at Tramway, and it was incredible how successfully she was able to bring these images to life, and tell the story using the stage as a catwalk on which characters and locations appeared out of nowhere. Carrie’s really interested in the depth of the stage, things coming into view then going back again; it’s very exciting.”

BLACK WATCH A National Theatre of Scotland

Production

“We cannot underestimate what the success of Black Watch has done for the National Theatre of Scotland.

Why should people know the name of our Company, if they don’t know us by our work? Now we can say that we’re the Company that did Black

Watch and I think that’s really exciting. It’s right that we should be defi ned through our work.

More than that, for me, Black

Watch has shown the potential of the way the National Theatre

of Scotland has been set up. Enabling artists to follow an idea and to take a risk, then for that idea to grow and turn into a piece of theatre is what the National Theatre of Scotland is about.

With Black Watch we’ve also seen that audiences are hungry to be entertained like that. And we have been so privileged that it has given us the opportunity to reach out to so many new audiences around the world: in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA,Ireland, throughout Scotland and the

rest of the UK. Many of these are people who otherwise may not have come to see a theatre production.

One of the things I feel about Black Watch is that it reminds us how brilliant theatre can be and how much it can matter. Audiences and theatre makers spend a lot of time wishing that to be the case but it often isn’t. With Black Watch we can all say: ‘Yes, we are right to be as passionate as this about our theatre.’”

“Transform is a partnership we set up with local authorities across Scotland. We put a team of artists with different specialisms into a community and they work with schools and different groups to make a piece of theatre.

Each project is unique and innovative and ambitious. We aim to transform not just the area we go into, but also to transform the lives of the people who get involved.

Every time we put on a Transform we learn from it as a Company, and we get better and better. We become more demanding of it artistically, which I think is fantastic because people have more and more to be proud of in terms of the end result.

As the pieces emerge, it’s amazing to see the ownership that the community and the people involved have over it. It’s a really important part of what we do.”

“The National Theatre of Scotland

Learn team goes from strength to strength, energising audiences and communities throughout the country.

The Learn department plays a central role in our whole programme. For us it’s about weaving our artistic vision throughout everything we do, whether it’s a large-scale, high- profi le play, a small-scale rural tour, or a community event involving a cast of hundreds.

Along with New Work, the Learn department also allows us to express our commitment to supporting and nurturing creative talent in Scotland.

As well as our programme of Transform events (see page 21) Learn are creating an extensive programme of workshops to allow audiences to connect with our shows (see pages 24–5). Learning materials for schools and colleges will be available on our website.

This autumn, we’re very excited to be welcoming three young theatre makers on to our Emerging Artists programme. They are Brian Ferguson, Gary McNair and Molly Taylor.

They will play a hugely valuable role in assisting on a number of our shows, delivering workshops and creating resources, as well as having the space and guidance to develop their own work.

Last year, we had four brilliant Emerging Artists – Jennifer Edgar, Catrin Evans, Liam Hurley and Gareth Nicholls – who will be returning as Creative Partners on this year’s Exchange.

2009 will be our fourth year of Exchange. It’s an initiative which pairs up youth groups from across Scotland who swap ideas and different ways of working, culminating in a week of performances at Macrobert in

Stirling next summer. Exchange has always explored what it means to be ‘young, Scottish and international’. Next year, two European youth theatre groups will be joining to make this our fi rst truly international Exchange.

The way that Learn can involve so many people across the country in such an immediate, personal way is absolutely vital to us.”

“The New Work Department is essential in shaping what we do at the National Theatre of Scotland.

New Work is about listening to the extraordinary voices that exist within Scotland, and opening our arms to people outside Scotland who want to work with us. New Work allows us to give these artists the right environment to be able to grow,

and to be able to say important things about who we are, how we live and what we do as a culture.We’re constantly searching for new material to put on in ways which are interesting for contemporary audiences, and New Work does that so very well. This might be from working with playwrights and commissioned scripts through our new Literary Manager, or it may come from other theatre makers through National Theatre of Scotland Workshop.

We can take a little bit more risk with Workshop

productions. There isn’t the pressure to get a massive audience, to sell hundreds of tickets or tour it round the country. If we had a building, Workshop productions are what we would do in our Studio Theatre.

It’s really important that in an organisation like ours we can still fi nd a place to take these kinds of risks.”

Vicky Featherstone
