Eden Court Theatre Presents the Return by Ellie Stewart Scottish Tour Eden Court Theatre presents The Return by Ellie Stewart Scottish tour runs until 10 March # TheReturn Eden Court Theatre brings the mysterious true story of missing man Martin Guerre to life in Scottish Tour of The Return Production images have been released for The Return which is currently on tour around Scotland until 10 March. The Return is written by rising-star of Scottish playwriting Ellie Stewart (Strictly -Traverse Theatre, Mischief - Play, Pie & Pint) Directed by Philip Howard, former artistic director of Dundee Rep and the Traverse Theatre Based on the mysterious true story of Martin Guerre written from the perspective of his wife. Image credit: Ewen Wetherspoon IMAGES AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD HERE Eden Court Theatre’s new production, The Return, inspired by an old and still mysterious story embarks on a national tour in February and March 2018. The true story of Martin Guerre is an intriguing one. One day in 1549, in the small village of Artigat in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, a young peasant man named Martin disappeared, leaving behind a wife, young son, and relatively well-off family. Things had not been going well for Martin in the days before his disappearance. He had a troubled relationship with his family, with his own father accusing him of stealing and selling family grain, but no one expected him to suddenly vanish. Seven years later, Martin’s wife Bertrande is still in Artigat tending to her livestock and mothering her young, fatherless son. One day, out of the blue, a strangely familiar man walks into her life, full of mystery. Bertrande decides to present the man to the community as her long-lost spouse – returned. But is it really Martin? Inspired by the true story of Martin Guerre, Ellie Stewart’s new play The Return is a gripping play about the mystery of identity and the survival instinct, and asks whether we can ever truly know even those we love the best. Commissioned and premiered by Eden Court, The Return, is produced by the same creative team behind Eden Court’s Not About Heroes in 2015. Philip Howard, former artistic director of Dundee Rep & the Traverse Theatre, once again directs, joined by designer Kenneth MacLeod, who has worked with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Dundee Rep and Vox Motus amongst many others. Playwright Ellie Stewart is a rising star of Scottish playwriting. Speaking of why she wrote the play, Ellie said: “I’ve been intrigued by the story of Martin Guerre since I first heard it about twenty-five years ago… It’s been told in different ways over the years, and I’ve always been interested in the pivotal role of his wife Bertrande. The story resurfaced for me recently when I returned to the Pyrenees and was bombarded with sensory memories. My starting point for the writing was to explore the story from Bertrande’s point of view. “As I was writing I was thinking about people who are seeking refuge in our times, and about the challenges of relationships and parenting. And of course, it’s a love story. Some things are timeless. Perhaps human instincts, emotions and behaviours haven’t changed that much over the years.” The cast brings together Emilie Patry (Bertrande), Thoren Ferguson (Arnaud) and cellist Greg Sinclair on stage. Emilie Patry (Bertrande) trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama and at the Studio 34 in Paris and is co-founder of Jagged Fence Theatre Company. Theatre credits include The Gamblers (Greyscale, UK Tour) and A Beginning, Middle and an End (Traverse/Tron/Hull Truck). Thoren Ferguson (Arnaud) is a Scottish actor, musician and composer who has worked in TV, radio and theatre with credits including Logan High (BBC) and Armchair Detectives (BBC). Greg Sinclair is a musician and performance artist who has worked with companies including Curious Seed, Starcatchers and Dundee Rep. TOUR DETAILS Howden Park Centre, Livingston, 20 Feb.

  • On Watery Borders, Borderlands, and Tania Kovats' Head to Mouth
    arts Article On Watery Borders, Borderlands, and Tania Kovats’ Head to Mouth Ysanne Holt Department of Arts, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST, UK; [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 20 August 2019 Abstract: With a relational view of landscapes and natural environments as continuously “in process” and formed from the over-layered and interdependent connections between nature and culture, the human and the non-human, this paper considers some recent practices by artists who have worked in the largely rural border region of Northern England and Southern Scotland. Expanding from a focus on the artist Tania Kovats’ 2019 Berwick Visual Arts exhibition, Head to Mouth, and a wider frame of non-anthropocentric ecological thought in relation to the visual arts, it explores the significance of diverse creative engagements with water, here with the River Tweed, and their potential value in a current cross-border context of social and environmental challenges and concern. Keywords: borderlands; ecological thinking; River Tweed; Tania Kovats; contemporary arts and environment; water; Anglo-Scottish borders 1. Introduction The UK border region of Northern England and Southern Scotland is sparsely populated and often perceived and experienced as marginal and remote, with associations either of peace and tranquility, or of isolation and peripherality. Amidst social and political anxieties wrought by referenda on Scottish Independence (2014) and Brexit (2016), and the environmental problems that face this primarily rural, cross-border location overall, the significance of its shared resources, practices, and identities and the value in this context of recent forms of visual arts practice are important considerations.

Af- ter this event, poetic trends seem to move away from odes Mto courageous sacrifice and protection of the homeland, toward bitter or grief-stricken verses on the horror and pointless suffering of the conflict. This is especially true of poetry written by soldier poets, many of whom were young, English men with a strong grounding in Classical literature and languages from their training in the British public schooling system.

    www.stow-borders.co.uk Stow & Fountainhall COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER ISSUE 29 ~ summer/autumn 2017 CULTURE ON OUR DOORSTEP CULTURE ON OUR DOORSTEP If you’ve been around in our part of the Gala Water valley this summer you’re likely to have been aware of the rich mix of cultural events that our part of the world seems to have developed a thirst for and which it’s bursting to slake. Stowed Out, a triumph of local passion and organisation, has just finished at the time of collating the newsletter - our own Music and Arts Festival which brings to the Quoiting Green annually an ever-evolving mix of musicians to the sound stage; contemporary performers to the ROAR spoken word stage; and connects this year with the thought-provoking Cloudhouse Café and Gallery-based ‘Sanctuary’ exhibition of painting and sculpture by local artists, inspired by our area’s history and location, curated by one of our local artists, and running until late September. A few days after Stowed Out, two Fellows of the Royal Photographic Society connected to our locality, gave an enthralling photography presentation in Stow Town Hall which was enthusiastically attended. Over the summer Fountainhall Village Hall committee brought a play, an (orchestral) performance and puppets to our smaller village, enriching our days and cementing Fountainhall as a venue for small touring theatre companies - a direction of travel begun earlier this year. The Backroad Picture House began in late 2016 and its programme for the coming season is unveiled inside offering another fine mix from classic to contemporary films, across genres, for both adults and children over the coming winter.

  • Ergotherapy and the Doctor Who Cured Wilfred Owen
    ‘Re-education’, ergotherapy and the doctor who cured Wilfred Owen The end of 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of Wilfred Owen’s war poems being published posthumously.1 A quarter of Owen’s poems and fragments were written or updated in late 1917 when he was a ‘shell-shock’ patient in Edinburgh’s Craiglockhart War Hospital. Here he penned his most remembered verse. Without Craiglockhart and the care of Edinburgh doctor, Dr Arthur John Brock, we may never have read Owen’s words on ‘the pity of war’.2 A century on, Brock’s ‘ergotherapy’ treatments may have resonance and applicability as we care for mental health issues emanating from current global crises. In 1917 Owen saw action in the Somme area of the Western Front. He became a casualty having fallen into a shell hole. Recovering from concussion he was later blown up by a trench mortar and reportedly spent days unconscious. On regaining consciousness, Owen found himself surrounded by the remains of a fellow officer. Owen was transferred to one of the two reception centres for ‘shell-shock’, the Royal Victoria Hospital (the Welsh Hospital, Netley), where he was diagnosed as suffering from ‘war neuroses’ by doctors there. He was then moved to one of Britain’s six ‘shell-shock’ hospitals for officers - Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh. There he was placed under the care of Dr Brock. Brock believed in purging what caused the shock before a programme of ‘re-education’3 whereby patients were returned to normal living and working. This involved ‘ergotherapy’ activities. ‘Ergotherapy’ is the use of physical exertion as a treatment4 or as Brock described it more widely, “cure by functioning.”5 His prescribed activities were both physical and active artistic engagement, stimulating the body and mind.

    Annual2020 Report Rona Munro, Chair playwrights These are strange times. We are reporting on a year of the Studio’s work 76 which was undertaken in one reality at the point at which we’re entering Davey Anderson Robert Ballantyne Sadie Beauchamp another. Victoria Beesley Benn Brown Drew Campbell Giles Conisbee At time of writing, our understanding of what this reality will be like, for playwrights and for theatre, is changing almost daily. Jacqueline Conn Alice Mary Cooper Linda Cracknell One thing which is clear, is that playwrights have never been more Bob Davidson Mick Duke Ansley Echols Andy Edwards needed. Our communities need to process what is happening to us all, through drama and through stories. Oliver Emanuel Marjorie Ferry Joanna Glum Playwrights’ Studio and the Scottish Society of Playwrights recently hosted an online gathering at which a large number of playwrights, from Davey Goodwin Annie George Stephen Greenhorn David Greig all parts of Scotland, came together online to discuss our response to the pandemic and to the challenges facing live theatre. Playwrights also Maryam Hamidi Lesley Hart John Harvey Lewis Hetherington participated with other freelancers in the many depositions, lobbying Jules Horne Kieran Hurley Jaimini Jethwa James Ley documents and appeals that were sent to government, highlighting the imminent collapse of our live theatre without financial help. Jane Livingstone Simon MacCallum Rehanna MacDonald Financial help has been offered. I imagine we all expect that the detail of how that money is allocated will involve further scrutiny, lobbying and Iain Macrae John McCann Nicola McCartney Janine McEwan appeals but, basically we were heard, our value was affirmed, we should empower ourselves and remember that going forward.
