HOMECOMING SCOTLAND - EDINBURGH
FESTIVAL FRINGE 2009

LEITHEATRE - "AULD SANGS AND
NEW RHYMES - THE LIFE OF BURNS"

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of our
National Bard, Leitheatre has commissioned a new work, telling the story of his
life and work.

"Auld Sangs and New Rhymes" is a dramatised life story
with live music, songs and poems, from a company which has been entertaining
audiences with Burns shows for 30 years. The show will be performed in period
costume in an intimate "in the round" setting.

Audiences from home and abroad will love this new telling
of the life and work of Robert Burns.

We would be extremely grateful for any editorial
assistance you can give us in publicising our show with previews, listings and
reviews. The show will be directed by Effie Robertson, musical direction and
arrangements by Gavin Pagan and scripted by John Archer.
