Devil's Point
Cutty Sark Theatre • Semi-professional company
About the show
Devil's Point is an experimental folk horror play by Cutty Sark Theatre, a semi-professional company. Ailsa and Sean, a young couple at the height of bliss, set off on a romantic hiking trip up the mountain known as Devil's Point. As shadows darken and tensions rise, an unseen presence makes itself known. Drawing on folklore from the Cairngorms region of Scotland, the play weaves together ancient unease and the pressures of modern-day relationships. Running 45 minutes, it carries age guidance of 14+ and contains distressing themes, scenes of violence, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A taut, atmospheric folk horror that finds genuine dread in a Scottish mountain setting. If you enjoy theatre that blends landscape, legend, and relationship tension in a compact 45 minutes, this is a compelling choice.
