Stevenson Trust Scottish Election Study Roadshow
The Stevenson Scottish Election Study Roadshow brings leading political scientists Prof Ailsa Henderson (University of Edinburgh) and Prof Christopher Carman (University of Glasgow) to communities across Scotland for a series of public lectures drawing on cutting-edge evidence from the Scottish Election Study, the largest dedicated survey of voter attitudes and behaviour in Scotland. Together they will unpack how Scots engaged with the election — from the issues that drove vote choice and how campaigns shaped opinion, to what the results reveal about Scotland's constitutional future.
Whether you follow Scottish politics closely or are simply curious about the forces shaping Scotland, this is your chance to hear the data speak.
This event is in person only.

🧵 'The most electrifying theatre imaginable' (ayoungertheatre.com)

It's back, one of Scotland’s most loved pieces of theatre. Dogstar Theatre Company presents THE TAILOR OF INVERNESS (Krawiec z Invernessu) in Ullapool on Saturday 5th September.

Matthew Zajac’s stunning show about his Polish-Ukrainian father has entranced over 40,000 people, playing in a huge variety of venues from prestigious theatres in cities which include New York, Adelaide, Glasgow, Kyiv, London, Malmo and Berlin, to tiny village halls.

This is a rare chance to see this unforgettable and moving story of displacement and survival in war-torn Europe, a powerful allegory for all victims of war.

Written & performed by Matthew Zajac
Jonny Hardie/Gavin Marwick on violin
Directed by Ben Harrison

Our next screening with National Theatre Live is The Pl***oy of the Western World, written by John Millington Synge, directed by Caitríona McLaughlin, showing at the Macphail on 16th June.

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s riveting play of youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.
