SCA are delighted to be hosting a performance of "My Doric Diary" this Friday, 29th September at 7.30pm. Entry is £8 and the one-act musical lasts about 50 minutes; recommended for age 12 upwards.
It’s December 31st, 2010, in Fraserburgh. But all is not sparkly balloons. Daisy is desperate to attend the town’s New Year’s Eve party but Granny will not allow it. After an argument, a disgruntled Daisy locks herself in her room amongst her music and old schoolbooks. Things take a time-bending twist when Daisy is magically transported back to December 31st, 1993-the same night 17 years earlier. But why has she been brought here? And why now? And most importantly who is that mysterious figure standing at the mic?
A Doric jukebox musical from Katie Barnett and James Siggens of AyeTunes!, My Doric Diary is a heart-warming story about what it means to love and what it takes to let go.
Presented in partnership with Aberdeen Performing Arts and supported by Creative Scotland’s Touring Fund for Theatre and Dance Programme.
Originally commissioned and produced by A Play, a Pie and a Pint at the Òran Mór, co-presented by Aberdeen Performing Arts and The Traverse Theatre.
