Vanishing Point
In The Winter Came The Foal
04 – 06 Feb 2027
Event details
A play by Owen Whitelaw, directed by Matthew Lenton and performed by Sandy Grierson.
“This foal is aye important, right. It’s oor job tae mak sure it niver leaves. Fur if it does, the Kirk wull fall tae the de’il, and the hooses turn tae dust.”
After fifty years of hiding in his local pub, a man emerges to face a village changed.
A landscape where the old walls have fallen, where new ones have been built.
And where a strange horse stalks the crowded streets.
In The Winter Came The Foal is a fairy-tale and modern myth examining the death of community and the enduring need for belief. This thrillingly theatrical stripped-down performance lays the foundations for a large scale future production.
