Whisky Galore

12 - 15 Nov

Three frightfully nice BBC actors gather in a 1940s BBC drama studio to recreate the hilarious story of a community of plucky Scottish islanders. They tell the tale using only their skill, wit, ingenuity, 100 unlikely sound effects - and one very overworked and exasperated studio manager!

A riotous comedy from Mull Theatre.
