As environmental toxicity and civil unrest escalate, the relationship between this Muslim family and the neglected kite forms a poetic chronicle of the city’s collapsing ecology and rising social tensions.

Next summer, Wordplay will return to Mareel with a very special festival for 2023. Shetland Noir will run over 4 days in June, with a programme packed full of internationally known writer events, workshops, panel discussions and outings. We will explore bringing in other elements to the programme, broadening from a literature base to include film, music, live performance, as well as other “noir” related content.

We are delighted to announce award-winning crime-writer and creator of the world-famous Jimmy Perez Shetland novels Ann Cleeves OBE as Patron of Shetland Noir 2023. Ann will be supported in her role by Shetland’s own Marsali Taylor.

“I’m delighted to be involved with Shetland Noir. I can’t wait to bring crime readers and writers together in these beautiful islands to celebrate all things noir.” (Ann Cleeves).

Early Bird Noir Card available on sale now, with full price Noir Cards (£85) and tickets for individual events going on sale from January 1 2023.

Folk Frenzy 2023

A week of workshops, concerts, sessions and masterclasses on Lerwick’s beautiful historic waterfront, Folk Frenzy 2023 will be curated by renowned Shetland fiddler, Kevin Henderson and will run from Sunday 6 - Friday 11 August 2023.

“I’m delighted Frenzy is returning after what will be a 4-year break because of the pandemic. It’s been a strange time for everyone, and you can see that folk are over the moon concerts, festivals and the like are back again. There is definitely an excitement about it! 2019 was a big success and I’m looking forward to this edition and to working with a great line up of tutors again. It’s going to be fun!” (Kevin Henderson)
