Library encore for Red Rowan Berries

May 27 2008

RETURNING by popular demand to the AK Bell Library theatre are two talented Perthshire women, Margaret Gillies Brown and Heather Innes, aka Heather and Red Rowan Berries.

Their performance last May as part of the Perth Festival Fringe gained plaudits for their afternoon of poetry, prose and song focussed on remarkable Scottish women.

The success of their 2007 show led to calls of ‘encore’, so they are returning to the same venue on Friday afternoon, only this time with a sex change!

Their ‘Out of the West Land’ performance centres on the work of men with strong links to the Hebrides and West Coast of Scotland.

Excerpts of work by luminaries such as Sorley MacLean, Norman MacCaig, Iain Crichton Smith and Duncan Glen will be featured by Margaret and Heather.

“We are delighted to have been asked back,” said Margaret, a poet from the Errol area. “Last year we had a good audience in the library theatre, which is an intimate venue with good acoustics.”

Tickets for ‘Out of the West Land’, which starts at 2.30pm, are £4 from the AK Bell Library shop or telephone 01738 477016.
