Ályth is again delighted to be teaming up with writer and playwright Hamish Macdonald and award winning actor Matthew Zajac in a re run of Dogstar Theatre‘s production The Captain’s Collection. Performed first at the Highland Festival back in 1999 this was Ályth’s first professional outing as an actor. Ályth has always kept a keen interest in Dogstar remaining an associate artist with the company.
The Captain’s Collection: Originally the brainchild of Blazin’Fiddles’ Bruce MacGregor, this award-winning music theatre production vibrantly dramatises the life and work of Captain Simon Fraser – fiddler, composer, publisher, dispossessed laird and Empire soldier – whose 1816 collection The Airs and Melodies Peculiar to the Highlands of Scotland and the Isles, preserved a wealth of ancient Gaelic songs and tunes for posterity. Directed by Alison Peebles.
It will be performed at this coming year’s Celtic Connections in Glasgow - click here for tickets – then will be touring Scotland in April & May 2012.
