A History of Paper
A History of Paper
Pitlochry Festival Theatre + Dundee Rep Theatre present
by Oliver Emanuel & Gareth Williams
Directed by Andrew Panton
Musically Directed by Gavin Whitworth
A Scottish musical about joy, grief, and all the little things that make up a life. Sounds simple. It’ll make you laugh, break your heart and have you calling your mum on the way home.
Fresh off a Fringe First win and now starring two absolute legends, Alan Cumming and Shirley Henderson, reuniting after first working together 40 years ago. The chemistry is already iconic. This was always going to be unmissable.
