It runs for 60 minutes at Netherbow Theatre, costs £16, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A rare chance to hear Shetlandic spoken on stage — Robertson's blend of languages gives the tales their own texture, and the mix of beauty, sadness and humour across 60 minutes makes for a rich and transporting hour.
