We're pausing the Beastie chat for a moment to share another exciting project that's on the horizon.

This week, we'll be presenting a work-in-progress at the Edinburgh Fringe as part of Summerhall Arts Surgeries.

Breeks is a new show, written by our playwright Izzy Gray. It's inspired by the true story of Jean Cameron — the Scottish postie who, during WWII, campaigned for the right to wear trousers on her rural rounds. What began as a request for something practical became a quiet act of rebellion, sparking gossip, admiration, and a ripple of change far beyond her glen.
Breeks celebrates the unsung women who kept the world turning in its darkest hours — and asks what stories we inherit from their small, defiant victories.

We're thrilled to be collaborating with the brilliantly talented Rebecca Wilkie, who'll be reading the role of Jean with all the gusto she deserves!

It's early stages for Breeks, but we're excited to see where this development might take the piece in the future. Watch this space!

🎙️ Casting Announcement! 🎙️

We’re thrilled to introduce the talented Highlands performers who will voice the Morar community as part of our oral history project. Their voices will shape the opening and closing soundscape of the show—framing each episode with storytelling, character, memory, and place.

Meet the cast:

Brian Maitland
Brian is an actor originating from Thurso, Caithness. He is a graduate of The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and currently resides in London. His credits include There’s A Monster In Your Show (UK Tour & The Lowry), Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Warner Brothers), Calamity Jane (Titchfield Festival Theatre), and Romeo & Juliet (Theatre Royal Plymouth).

Megan Macdonald
Megan is an emerging actress from the Highlands of Scotland. She trained at Rose Bruford College, gaining her BA (Hons) in Acting. She started her career in Theatre in Education and has most recently worked with Vivid Roots Collective, playing Niamh in The Wound, The Rag and The Inbetween by Annie MacDonald (Eden Court Theatre). Megan has also taken part in the Roots Festival in Inverness, where she has developed her skills as both a performer and a playwright.

Gordon J Millar
Gordon is thrilled to be returning to his Highland home for the role of voice actor in Beastie. He spent all his school years in Inverness and fell in love with the realms of cinema and dramatic arts at La Scala and Eden Court. In 1989, he left Scotland to study art in Liverpool. After three decades as a nurse on the NHS frontline, he appeared in Outlaw King, had an epiphany on set, enrolled in acting classes, and has never looked back. He is now a prolific screen actor and voiceover artist, and returning home for this exciting production feels like completing a circle.

Ellen MacDonald
Ellen is a captivating Gaelic singer from Inverness known for her emotive voice and deep connections to her Highland heritage. Her singing seamlessly blends old and new, bringing a fresh energy to Gaelic songs. She currently performs with West Highland trad music giants Dàimh and Gaelic vocal harmony group Sian.

✨ Beastie is here! ✨

We're thrilled to announce that the premiere of our production of Beastie is now on sale! We'll be performing at the Scottish Storytelling Centre on Thu 11 Sep for one night only. We’d love to share this special night with you. With limited capacity, we recommend booking now!

Huge thanks to Creative Scotland and our phenomenal artistic team for supporting this vision — and to the incredible Highland communities bringing their voices and folklore to the project. We feel really privileged to be able to create a show so rooted in our ethos of creating Scottish folk theatre for Scottish folk now.

Show info:

In a tumbledown bothy on the banks of Loch Mòrar, the legends run as deep as the water. One man’s quiet existence is capsized when he finds himself at the epicentre of a viral documentary.

Thrust into the spotlight as “The Hermit of Morar”, he’s forced to reckon with a lifetime of half-truths, legacy and the monsters — real and otherwise— that have shaped him.

Blending dark humour and raw storytelling with contemporary lighting, animation and an original folk score, Beastie is a captivating solo odyssey through Scotland’s wild places — where memory and myth blur, the past refuses to stay buried, and the human stories behind some of the country’s murkiest tales begin to surface.

Part Highland ghost story, part fever dream, it asks: why do we feel the need to create monsters out of the things we can’t explain? Brought to life by a powerhouse performance from Fraser Sivewright (The Testament of Gideon Mack), the production is created by an acclaimed artistic team:

Written by Izzy Gray
With original music by Quee MacArthur
Movement by Dawn Hartley
Lighting Design by Tom Sulat
Illustrations by Rachael Gray
Sound Design by Ewan Watson..and more incredible artists to be announced!

Calling Morar locals! Have you seen Morag? Heard the tales? Got a story about the mysterious loch?

Flagstone Theatre are delighted to be creating Beastie — a wild new solo show about Highland monsters, set in and around Loch Morar. Thanks to Creative Scotland’s Open Fund, we are excited to fully develop the production, which will premiere in Edinburgh this September.

We’re recording short interviews with locals to help bring Morag’s legend to life on stage. These stories will inspire actor-performed monologues, featured in the show’s soundscape. We’d love for you to be involved in creating an exciting new piece of Scottish theatre!

✅ Seen something strange?
✅ Heard a family legend?
✅ Got an opinion on the whole monster business?

We want to hear from you — believers, skeptics, and everyone in between.

Where & When?
🗓️ Tue 29 & Wed 30 July
📍 Mallaig & Morar Community Centre or online
⏳ 30 minutes | 💷 £50 thank-you

Anyone from or with a connection to the Morar area can take part (under 18s need parental consent).

✨ Your voice won’t be used directly — stories will be re-voiced by actors and woven into the show’s soundscape.

👉 To take part: Email [email protected] to register your interest — we’ll send you a quick form and fully explain how everything will work, including your rights and how your interview will be used.

Casting call!

Flagstone Theatre are looking for 4 Highlands-based or originating voice actors to help create a soundscape for our new supported production, Beastie.

Beastie is a wild new solo show which follows the character of Beastie - man, myth, monster hunter - as he unearths the human stories behind some of Scotland’s murkiest tales, including his own.

Set on the banks of Loch Morar, the show delves into the character’s fascination with the lesser-known legend of Morag, the monster said to haunt Loch Morar.

As part of the show’s creative process, Flagstone Theatre will be carrying out oral history interviews with the Morar community, capturing their perspectives on the legend. These will then be transcribed and turned into actor-performed monologues, to create the opening and closing soundscape of the show - weaving together the ideas of myth, community and legacy.

This is where you come in.

We’re casting for 4 voice actors to join us for a recording session in Inverness.
