In his one-man play Highland writer, John Burns, brings back to life Aleister Crowley a man once known as The Wickedest Man in the World, with the self appointed nickname The Beast. He cast aside the conventions of the Victorian society into which he was born and sought to develop a new magical religion with himself as its prophet.

Thistle Bee Theatre Company present their sell-out production of Carol Ann Duffy's collection The World's Wife. Start your festival season with this fantastic dramatisation featuring mythical and historical women from across the ages - come meet Frau Freud, Mrs Faust, Mrs Quasimodo, Mrs Darwin, Mrs Midas and Mrs Icarus among many others. By turns hilariously sassy and darkly tragic, this is a performance not to be missed.
