What do the widow and mistress of Scotland's famous bard discuss over tea? After the death of Robert Burns, his wife Jean Armour and mistress Nancy Maclehose finally meet. Jean and Nancy inspired some of Burns most famous work and, after years of songs being written about them, it's time for their story to be told. Using the well-known music of Robert Burns woven with original composition, Herstory gives a voice to the women behind the bard.
Ticket prices include a complimentary pie and drink.
Produced by A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór, co-presented with The Traverse Theatre, Ayr Gaiety and OneRen.
