A Yank in Scotland is a storytelling and true-life theatre piece from Paul O'Brien Threshold Repertory Theatre. Performed by Paul O'Brien, the show follows one man's journey through the Highlands of Scotland — a landscape of misty moors and glens, rolling fields of heather and ghosts from Scottish history. Joining Paul is the spirit of Bonnie Prince Charlie as the story unfolds around loss, discovery, mystery, meaning and a lost wallet. The show runs for 60 minutes at Space 2 and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and above.
Why see this show?
A quietly magical solo journey through the Scottish Highlands — blending myth, history and personal story, it is the kind of show that transforms an ordinary afternoon into something extraordinary.
