About Acting Coach Scotland
The Last Keepers is a new drama by Acting Coach Scotland, performed at Annexe at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set in 1970, a stranger washes up in Uig with no memory of who he is, yet his mind holds echoes of lighthouse keepers who vanished without a trace in 1900. As the Flannan Isles Lighthouse faces closure, isolated islanders must decide whether to fight for their home or abandon it. But with the past bleeding into the present, one question haunts them all: who is the stranger, and why has he come? Running 50 minutes, age guidance is 16+.
Why see this show?
A haunting new play that layers mystery, history and community in equal measure. The Flannan Isles disappearance is one of Scotland's most enduring unsolved mysteries, and this show uses it to explore belonging and loss with real emotional intelligence.
