SG MacLean, Sally Magnusson and Douglas Skelton will be interviewed by Jenny Brown as part of this year’s Bookmark Festival in Blairgowrie.
The event should have taken place last year but excessive flooding sadly forced the festival to close down.
Let’s hope that doesn’t happen again, because Douglas enjoys this festival and Blairgowrie.
It’s autumn so that means it’s time to return to Grantown for the Halloween weekend.
This is always a high spot on my calendar, not the least because we get to do Carry on Sleuthing.
OK, maybe audiences don’t share our enthusiasm but the cast enjoy themselves. Well, most of them.
And this year, it’s a BRAND NEW show, entitled A MURDER IS MISPRONOUNCED!
Regular cast mates Caro Ramsay, Michael J. Malone and I will the joined by guests stars SG MacLean, Lesley Kelly, Olga Wojtas and James Oswald in the comedy. For want of a better word.
Shona MacLean has walked the boards before, so she should know better. Lesley Kelly has also appeared in a previous show. Olga and James are fresh meat…sorry, newcomers.
The play kicks off the festival weekend during which all the above will be joined by author Mark Leggatt for panels and chats and, on Saturday night, a quiz being concocted by Caro Ramsay.
It really is a fun weekend and if you can get to this lovely town nestling at the foot of the Cairngorms, then we’d love to see you.
See the poster illustrations for details. All events will take place in the newly refurbished Grantown YMCA Community Centre on the Main Street.
