About Best Laid Schemes
Best Laid Schemes presents four fierce women — Scotland's own local witches — attempting to summon the spirit of Rabbie Burns in an hour of comedy, poetry, music and stories. The show features new writing alongside modern versions of Burns classics including Ae Fond Kiss and Auld Lang Syne. It is described as an hour of enlightenment filled with laughter, rebellion and the irresistible allure of the unknown. Expect to be moved and tickled by the blend of cabaret and new writing. The show is performed at Label Studio.
Why see this show?
A wickedly playful take on Burns mythology, performed by four women who bring equal measures of comedy and heart. The mix of new writing and reimagined Burns songs makes it fresh — a show that earns its laughter through genuine craft rather than familiar material.
