Mitchell School of Drama @ Aberdeen Tartan Day

What fun. A great day of sunshine, big men pulling ropes and lots and lots of pipers.

1. I know that this is being used for market research but am doing it anyway. Maybe it will make advertising more interesting…

6. I can play the violin (reasonably) and the saxophone (not so reasonably)
7. I used to swim for West Sussex
8. I am studying for an MBA in Cultural Management

The Miser
Tabola Rassa (Spain)

Harpagon is a penny pinching, grouchy old man. His grown-up children are costing him far too much money and must be married off…but he is determined not to pay for the weddings.
Harpagon’s most valuable asset is far too precious to be spent on the inessentials of life, and having spent a lifetime accumulating it, he is determined to protect his investment at all costs. So begins this sparkling, updated adaptation of one of French dramatist Moliere’s most famous comedies.

Whether in 17th century France or in this version set in contemporary Spain where water is at a premium and every character is a tap, the basic human instincts and behaviours of greed and covetousness are just the same, and their unintended consequences are very funny!
Over the past four years, leading Spanish company Tabola Rassa has performed this uniquely quirky and engaging adaptation of a classic dramatic text with stylish and expertly manipulated object animation to great acclaim all over the world.
