Ailsa and Sean are a young couple, at the height of bliss – for now. While on a romantic hiking trip up the mountain known as Devil's Point, shadows darken, tensions rise and someone – or something – makes its presence known. Paranoia and skepticism work together to ask a disturbing question: who is to blame for the whispers on the mountain? Devil’s Point is an experimental folk horror play weaving together folklore from the Cairngorms region of Scotland and the pressures of modern-day relationships. Cutty Sark Theatre returns from their acclaimed run at last year's Fringe.
