It will hit the stage of the town’s Area Centre at 7.30pm on Thursday, March 9, and Friday, March 10.

Recently commended by national theatre critics as “an exuberantly up- to- the- minute comedy”, the play broke all box- office records when it was first performed professionally in 2005 collection will be on display again, so don’t miss out.”

Alexander’s son Lachlan, himself an artist who had his work on display on Sunday, added: “I’m delighted that over 10,000 people have enjoyed my dad’s Tam o’Shanter paintings.” by Hull Truck Theatre Company.

It will be performed in the Stewarton Area Centre at 7.30pm on Thursday, March 9, and Friday, March 10.

When the curtain rises the audience soon see that work, life and love are just one long hard slog for fish factory workers Pearl ( Caren McLean), Jan ( Denise MacColl), Shelley ( Alison Barr) and Linda ( Laura Mundell).

Friends together through the gills, the guts and the guys, these

The paintings, completed in 1996 for the 200th anniversary of the Bard’s death, have only been displayed in full once before, in Edinburgh that year.

Robert Burns’ epic poem, written in the lowland Scots dialect of 200 likely lasses’ fortunes are set to change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot.

After years of fish- filleting the pals are ready for a spot of filly- fancying, but the question is - is Royal Ascot ready for them?

They are absolutely to make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity to mix it with the aristocracy... but it turns out that they spend more time mixing with dubious ticket tout, Fred ( Craig McLaughlan), suicidal Irish jockey, Patrick ( Jim Goldie), drunken punter, Kevin ( also played by Craig McLaughlan), lost love, Barry ( David Robertson) and sleazy tic- tac man, Jim ( also played by Johnnie McPherson) - who bears an uncanny resemblance to Channel 4 racing pundit, John McCririck.

Tickets for the production priced at £ 8 each are on sale now at Stewarton Library or can be reserved by emailing the group at stewartondramagroup@ hotmail. co. uk
