Cutty Sark Theatre
5 - 31 AUG (NOT 12, 16) - 14:30
Gather, gather, and turn the
cloth... 1989. The first storm of winter hits a small Scottish town,
bringing with it obligation, tradition and a spirit hungry for a wife.
Bonds are tested, secrets revealed, and someone must make a deadly choice.
Darkly funny, unsettling and atmospheric, Turn the Cloth is a new folk
horror play inspired by traditional waulking songs and kelpie folklore,
stringing together campy 1980s horror films, sharp-tongued teenagers and
folklore from Scotland. Using a fusion of trad music and 80s synth, it
dissects defiance, girlhood and the rituals that shape us.
