Right Lines

Right Lines was founded by Dave Smith and Euan Martin

Dave and Euan first met up in the percussion section of the ground-breaking Aberdeen electric ceilidh band The Reel Aliens. After the demise of the band, their paths took different directions, wending through a variety of occupations: social worker, wagon train operative, circus hand, oil worker, ceilidh consultant and theatre designer.

Their first writing collaboration resulted in “The Accidental Death of an Accordionist” which toured the Highlands & Islands to great acclaim in 2001 and re-toured in 2002 and 2008. A second interactive comedy, “The Wedding”, was equally well-received during a tour in 2002. Both shows played to sell-out audiences during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The writing partnership has been established for 15 years and the company has toured many very popular and successful shows around the Highlands & Islands and beyond. Productions include “Who Bares Wins” (2004), “Watching Bluebottles” (2005), “Illicit” (2006), “The Great Tartan Haggis of Tooriebrochan” (2009), “Whisky Kisses” (2010 and 2014), “From These Parts” (2012), “Be Silent or Be Killed” (2013), “Rapid Departure” (2015 & 2016), “Charity Begins” (2017) and “The Isle of Love” (2018). The company has written and produced everything from solo shows, to 8-hander interactive comedies and full-scale musicals. Right Lines has also written for radio.
