Theatre Gu Leòr in association with An Lanntair presents:

Stornoway, Quebec

By Calum L.MacLeòid

Quebec, 1888. A snowstorm traps five people in a remote saloon. One of them is a bounty hunter, another, the most wanted man in Canada.

To some, Donald Morrison, the Megantic Outlaw, was one of the most notorious villains of his day, but to the close-knit community of Gaelic migrants from Lewis, he was one of their own. Hot on his heels is badass Barra woman, Màiri MacNeil - a whisky-fuelled, pistol-slinging, bounty hunter. She has history and a score to settle.

Ceilidhs meet Colt .45s in this wild Gaelic Western.

Performed in Gaelic with English subtitles

Integrated BSL on 30th March, 8th April and 14th April

All characters and events in this show, even those based on real people are entirely fictional - dead or alive!

"Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight meets Ridley Scott’s Thelma And Louise…a tremendously imaginative escapade - It is a credit to the company, to writer MacLeòid and to Kelly herself. The director has been a powerhouse in Scottish Gaelic theatre. As she makes her move…Scotland’s loss is most definitely Ireland’s gain." - The National
