Fleeman Productions are planning to follow the tremendous success of their Spring tour of Charles Barron’s Fooshion and their summer tour of Amang the Craws with another tour of Amang the Craws. As usual, Charles here combines humour with some darker moments as he follows the story of a north east farm lad who finds himself on Death Row in America. The play was published in 2005 by Learning and Teaching Scotland who placed a copy in every secondary school in Scotland. The play is studied on both English and Drama courses. With this performance Fleeman productions will be continuing their policy of taking Doric plays to the country venues of North East Scotland.

On Sunday 7th September there will be another performance of the pageant Wallace, based on several incidents in the life of the Scottish hero. This pageant is performed annually by local schoolchildren. See it at the Wallace statue, opposite His Majesty’s Theatre, as part of the afternoon’s celebration of Wallace’s life. During the same afternoon there will also be a performance of a completely new short play, by Charles Barron, Blyth Aberdeane, based on the poem written by the poet Dunbar to mark his visit to the city with the Queen in 1511. A year later, on Sunday 6th September 2009, along with the annual Wallace pageant there will again be a new play by Charles Barron, celebrating the visit to Aberdeen of the poet Robert Burns. Admission free.

As part of the celebrations of the 125th Anniversary of Aberdeen’s Duthie Park, a new short play by Charles Barron will be performed several times on the afternoon of Sunday 14th September 2008. Called Potted Heids it includes light-hearted potted histories of some of Aberdeen’s past worthies - our ‘high heid yins’.
