A Citizens Theatre production in association with the National Theatre of Scotland
Small Acts of Love
09 Sep - 04 Oct
Event details
A powerful new play that celebrates love, resilience, and community.
In the wake of the Pan Am 103 atrocity in December 1988, the people of Lockerbie responded with heartwarming acts of kindness for the relatives of people who died on board. In the face of the most extraordinary adversity, these two distant communities from Southwest Scotland and New York State built a lasting connection through friendship, compassion and humanity.
Small Acts of Love is a compelling, true story based on meticulous research from acclaimed playwright Frances Poet (Fibres, Still ). The production is brought to life with original songs by Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue, creating an ambitious blend of theatre and music that will leave audiences moved and uplifted.
This landmark production will reopen the Citizens Theatre.
Supported by The Hunter Foundation. Developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.
