Touring
KATIE MORAG
By Lisa Grindall, based on the books by Mairi Hedderwick. Katie Morag comes to life in a musical show full of fun for all the family. With new songs and a new cast, this is a new version of the show which toured in 2005 - nominated for the TMA award for the Best Show for Children and Young People.
Travel on the ferry to Struay to meet one of the best-loved characters in children’s books – Katie Morag McColl. She may live on a tiny weather-beaten island, but there’s plenty of mischief to get up to, and Katie Morag is always up to something! Two American kids arrive with their dad to find their Scottish roots, but Katie Morag can't believe how spoiled they are – and the visitors can't believe there aren't shopping malls on Struay! But as they become caught up in a treasure trail, Katie Morag and the visitors soon learn that appearances can deceive...
Meet Eriska the horse and the Struay cats, stumble across ancient ghosts in spooky places, join in with the songs and help Katie Morag find the answers to the riddles.
"…the songs are irresistibly jolly, Robin Peoples' colourful cut-out sets are fun and Granny Island's tractor is a treat all by itself. As for Katie herself, Sally Reid is irresistible" THE TIMES***
