“Sensationally epic and brutally intimate”, Thunderstruck is an international award-winning production concerning the legacy and mythology of a Pitlochry bin man, who flew beyond the summit of his art and changed Scottish music forever by defying established tradition and pushing to the absolute edge of what was possible. Take whatever romantic notions you have of the bagpipes and leave them at the door. Written and performed by Fifer, actor and bagpiper David Colvin who was a member of the original cast of the National Theatre of Scotland Play, Black Watch in 2006. Directed By Tom Freeman whose involvement in Scottish theatre spans many years with credits including 7:84 & Communicado Theatre companies.
