We have something a little different for Bloody Scotland attendees this year in what we’re calling the ‘Bloody Scotland Fringe’ where criminally relevant events are taking place during the Bloody Scotland weekend outside of our programme.

One of those events is a performance of A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil by Christopher Brookmyre, performed by Horsehead Theatre.

When a double murder reunites the classmates of St Elizabeth’s Primary School, scores are settled, debts repaid and alliances forged. Twenty years have passed but will those bonds still hold fast? This hilarious Scottish black comedy, adapted from Christopher Brookmyre’s novel, takes a nostalgic look at school days, filled with psycho teachers, class jokers and playground feuds. All set to a cracking 70s/80s soundtrack!

Warning – this play contains very strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.

They come off the back of a near sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and are sure to have you cackling throughout the evening.

£12/£10
