RIGHT LINES in association with MULL THEATRE presents The Accidental Death of an Accordionist by Euan Martin and Dave Smith.
The long-awaited revival of the legendary comedy ceilidh murder mystery!
An inspired collaboration between Mull Theatre and Right Lines Productions has brought about the long-awaited revival of The Accidental Death of an Accordionist for a major Scottish tour in summer 2008.
Glengirnie’s holding its grand ceilidh and the village is out in force. Master of Ceremonies for the evening John Angus is loosening up his vocal chords with a couple of drams, Aly the accordionist and the band have promised not to be late, the raffle’s ready, the bar’s well stocked and Jean’s even sold a ticket to the Laird. But behind the scenes, there’s trouble brewin’!
You’re invited to take your partners for the first dance and join the craic… but watch your back, because just below the surface of this Highland idyll lurks deceit, mistrust, jealousy, hatred and bloody revenge!
The Accidental Death of an Accordionist swept through the Highlands & Islands on an inaugural tour in 2001, and now it will embark on a 9-week tour from July 2008, taking in the Highlands & Islands, Glenkinchie Distillery, a 3-week run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Argyll & Bute, Aberdeenshire and finally Moray.
“…packed with uproarious situations, witty lines and richly comic characters...”
The Inverness Courier
“..red-blooded, rollicking farce... simply explodes with raw theatrical energy”
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
“…gloriously slapstick in its broad outlines, sharply witty in its finely observed details”
Kenny Mathieson, The Herald
The tour has been made possible through a substantial grant from the Scottish Arts Council, plus additional support from HIE Moray, Argyll & The Islands Enterprise, The Arts Council for Moray and other sponsors.
