Experience the genius of Scotland’s National Bard brought to life with its rich Scots dialect celebrated for its musicality and wit. Prepare to be whisked away on a midnight ride of supernatural thrills and folksy fun with a dramatic reading of Robert Burns’ immortal tale, Tam o’ Shanter. The reading will be delivered by our own Prof. J.C. Maxwell, with commentary by Mr. Embleton, and the support of a cast of inspired actors.
Join us as we journey alongside Tam through a dark, storm-swept landscape past the River Doon to the haunted Alloway Kirk. Will he heed the wisdom of his wife, Kate? Will he outrun the witches and warlocks? Witness the thrilling resolution of this cautionary tale, and learn how it has resonated since its 1791 release.
‘Whene’er to drink you are inclin’d
Or cutty-sarks run in your mind
Think! ye may buys joys o’er dear
Remember Tam o’ Shanter’s mare.’
