We combine Shakespeare’s vivid language with some of Britain’s greatest talent to tell a dangerous tale of ambition, jealousy, and love. Tackling subjects of racism, belonging, and deception, this is a classic take on a poignant tragedy that mercilessly explores every inch of the human condition.

His songs have an integrity that tell you they come from something real, where characters come to life as people you know and places become as familiar as if you had been there. When this happens, you know it’s an Allan Taylor concert. Tickets available on the door www.stirlingfolkclub.co.uk
Wednesday 27th November 2013 Sunday 5th January 2014 Beauty and The Beast Macroberts Art Centre. University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA. Written, Directed By & Starring Johnny McKnight Once Upon A Time in a far, far, faraway land - further than even Falkirk- lived a handsome young Prince and a beautiful young girl named Belle. Stirling Stella is not a happy place. The recession is STILL in full force. Bunty Buntock is worried about her two children, Belle and Sebastian. Belle is sick of men - especially her psycho-ex Gaston, who keeps slapping his thighs and declaring Belle his prize. All Belle wants is her equal (oh and to win the Stirling Stella Showchoir competition). Sebastian is tired of being the silly billy, if only the local evil witch Valentina Rizzla would notice him. And think on poor Prince Matthew Creepy-Crawley, confined to the ground of Bouffin Abbey. He used to be the heart-throb of Stirling Stella, and now thanks to an evil curse he’s scarier than Bigfoot. Who would know that a stolen roseand a Showchoir final - would change their lives forever? The greatest love story in the pantosphere as you’ve never heard it before.
