Cèilidh

Following the huge success of their award-winning tour of Shrapnel in 2016, Theatre Gu Leòr’s latest production, Cèilidh by Catriona Lexy Chaimbeul and Màiri Sìne Chaimbeul and directed by Lewis Hetherington will tour nationally in March 2018.

Wild, outspoken and buried face down on the Isle of Harris, poet Màiri Ruadh is back from beyond the grave, with one last night to resurrect the true meaning of the cèilidh. She has fire in her belly and is determined never to be silenced again.

Cèilidh is a new play full of live music, songs and stories. It is subtitled and suitable for anyone with or without Gaelic, but only those ready for a cèilidh like no other!

It is presented with cabaret-style seating and with integrated subtitling, making it fully accessible for non Gaelic speakers.

Cèilidh is a Theatre Gu Leòr production, supported by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Creative Scotland, National Theatre of Scotland, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the Gaelic Books Council.
