Theatre Hebrides present Na Daoine
The Byre Theatre of St Andrews
Two powerful stories are intertwined in Na Daòine. The first
is based on the true story of a young island woman’s life, which
begins with the excitement of her engagement followed closely
with the devastation of her fiancé being called to armed
service. Her emotional journey continues with elation of having
him return, only to be heartbroken again to find that events
have led him to another life that doesn’t include her. The
second storyline encompasses the desperate social and political
circumstances that provoked the emergence of a new spirituality
based belief system in the 1840’s.
Na Daòine is inspired by this time period and depicts how a
people oppressed by landlords, compulsory army subscription and
poor economy, rebelled and placed their allegiance in God. £14

green and sell the eggs for profit. But it's not easy being the

venture doesn't exactly go to plan. As their dreams of
self-sufficiency crumble, a powerful story of friendship against
the odds unfolds. £14 (£12/£9)
