Whiskey Galore

Monday 14 September at 7.30pm

Scotch on the Rocks, Love in the Air, Mayhem masked by mischief all around.

In a new adaptation by Stewart Howson of Compton Mackenzie’s famous comic novel, of life on an Hebridian Island, NTC will once again weave their own brand of theatrical magic as the SS Cabinet Minister heads for the rocks with its cargo of the finest scotch just in time to wash away the obstacles in True Love’s path.

Although prolific in other areas of fiction Compton Mackenzie’s was most famous for his comic novels, set in Scotland and peopled by marvellous characters; Not only Whisky Galore but also the Monarch in the Glen series on which the recent TV version was based. Many people will remember that Whisky Galore was also turned into film as one of the celebrated Ealing Comedies. Although successful it did become a bit of a “blend” whilst NTC are sticking to the single malt, sea salt, peaty taste of the original book so if you think you’ve seen this before you might be in for a few surprises…

Tickets: £8.00 / £6.00 concessions
