Outlying Islands

"Comic, touching, powerfully erotic" **** - Daily Telegraph

"A wonderful play...compulsively watchable" **** - The Guardian

Award-winning Scottish Borders-based Firebrand in partnership with Heart of Hawick present David Greig's highly-acclaimed play. It is summer 1939 and two young Cambridge naturalists arrive on a remote Hebridean island to conduct a wildlife survey on behalf of the government. They are accompanied by Kirk, the island's tenant, and his attractive young niece Ellen. When Kirk inadvertently reveals to the boys the true reason for their mission, they are drawn into a primeval world of emotional discovery, sexual passion, voyeurism and murder.

Please note that the play contains nudity and scenes of a sexual nature.
