CAMPBELTOWN TO HOST TOP PERFORMANCE

A top class theatrical performance with a difference will take place in Campbeltown next month.

Ghost is a highly original installation performance, linking sculpture and radio; a riveting piece of theatre for a single audience member at a time of their choosing.

Those taking part will be invited to put on headphones before taking to the streets of Campbeltown and listening to the story unwind.

Councillor Robin Banks, Argyll and Bute Council’s spokesperson for Development and Environment, said: “The performance starts as soon as you slip on your headphones and enter the eerie world of “the Maker”, a mythical, futuristic version of Campbeltown.

“This performance will seduce you with a hypnotic combination of words, images and sounds.

“You will be guided on a journey littered with intriguing echoes of lives and events, through a landscape which is at once familiar and hauntingly strange. As you explore the maze of Campbeltown, the mystery gradually unfolds around you.”

Written by award-winning playwright Judith Adams and directed by Symon MacIntyre (short listed for the 2002 Creative Scotland Award), Ghost is a darkly beautiful tale, told through a blend of narration, music, three-dimensional soundscape and installation art.

Performances will take place from Monday 9th April until Saturday 14th April. Headsets are available from Campbeltown Library, Aqualibrium, during this time from 11am until 5 pm.

Tickets are £3 each (£2 concessions). The minimum age is 15 years.
