SELL a Door Theatre Company’s touching production of Sunset Song comes to Adam Smith Theatre this week, running from Thursday 11th September to Saturday 13th September.
Recently voted Scotland’s most popular novel, Sunset Song takes on extra resonance this year, as we mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War – the setting for this extraordinary meditation on the role of Scottish identity and the role of women in the face of rapid modernisation.
Chris Guthrie is bound to a harsh farming life by her intense love of the land. She dreams of the seductive yet distant world of books and learning, but when war breaks out, Chris suddenly finds herself facing a very different reality as a widowed, single mother in a land altered beyond recognition.
Set in a farming community in the North East of Scotland, Sunset Song charts Chris’s struggle to adapt to her new world and hold together her fragile family. Her survival depends solely on her belief that beyond the sunset lies hope.
Supported by Creative Scotland, Sell a Door Theatre Company revives Alastair Cording’s faithful adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s classic Sunset Song, recently voted Scotland’s most popular novel of all time. Adam Smith Theatre is proud to present this show on Thursday 11th September to Saturday 13th September. Tickets are £12.00, £10.00 for concessions, or £9.00 for Schools. There is also a pre-theatre meal option on Saturday 13th September for only £10.00.
