More than 40 years ago I wrote a son-et-lumiere script for Braemar Castle. The history of the castle made an exciting story and its dramatic appearance was an ideal subject for theatrical lighting effects. The show ran every autumn for several years.

 

Now it is to be revived, in a slightly updated form, by the Braemar Community group who are now responsible for the castle. 21st - 23rd September 2012.

2013 will be the centenary of David Toulmin’s birth and Fleeman Productions intend to mark the occasion by mounting a major tour of my adaptation of his only novel Blown Seed.  It is likely that they will also produce a revival of three of my one-act plays based on Toulmin short stories.
