Woman Walking by Sylvia Dow

September 5, 2023 By Barony Webmaster

By Sylvia Dow

Directed by Becky Hope-Palmer

19th October 2023, 7:30pm at The Barony Theatre


I know you’re there. You’ve been there all this time. Watching.

Woman Walking by acclaimed Scottish playwright, Sylvia Dow, is inspired by the life of Nan Shepherd, and her love of the Cairngorms and the connection she had with the mountains.

Woman Walking is a beautifully poignant play imagining several interactions over a period of time between Cath, a modern woman carrying the guilt and trauma over the death of her mother, and Nan, long since deceased and brought back by Cath to help her find resolution through her dialogue with Nan and through the Cairngorms themselves in all their rough beauty, light and weather. Sylvia Dow’s play has both humour and pathos and brings themes of grief, resolution and the healing power of nature.

Stuff by Sylvia Dow

October 11, 2018 By Barony Webmaster

We are honoured and delighted to be chosen as a venue on the professional touring production of local Bo’ness playwright Sylvia Dow. This world premiere follows on from the success of the collaboration on Threads (2015), between award-winning director Muriel Romanes (The List, The Carousel, The Deliverance – Stellar Quines) and acclaimed writer Sylvia Dow (Thrawn Craws, Village Pub Theatre).

Please come and join us for what is sure to be a fine piece of home-grown Scottish theatre.

We are what we build around us

STUFF is about the hoarding of memories, emotions and things. Today the Council is coming to clear Magda’s house. She must find a way to deal with the constant shifting of stuff in her house and her head, as she revisits the past and struggles with the present to find a way to face the future. Told with humour and tenderness this will resonate in its view of our attachment to things, and our need for attachment to each other.

“Dow’s construction evokes the power behind a shared history as the ties that bind are stronger still.” The Herald on Threads, FOUR stars

CAST: Carol Ann Crawford, Romana Abercromby, Pauline Lockhart, Rosemary Nairne
