A tantalising trio of criminally good productions have been unveiled by Aberdeen Performing Arts as the first shows in the line-up for Aberdeen’s crime writing festival Granite Noir for 2024, alongside a string of hit shows bound for the North East next year.
Legendary actor David Suchet will come to the Music Hall for one night only on February 20 with Poirot and More, serving as a perfect precursor to the festival which will take place from February 22-25 and feature the fascinating ‘The Makings of a Murderer’ at the Music Hall on February 22 alongside a week-long run of Twelve Angry Men at His Majesty’s Theatre from February 20-24. Further announcements for Granite Noir will be made soon.
Today’s announcement also includes further exciting productions heading for His Majesty’s Theatre, the Music Hall and the Lemon Tree. Continuing the villainous theme, Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch will be sailing in to Aberdeen from March 12-16, while Calendar Girls the Musical will lift spirits from February 13-17 and Singalonga Matilda the Musical brings the feelgood factor on February 10.
The next instalment of Rona Munro’s renowned James plays, James V: Katherine will visit the Lemon Tree from April 30 to May 1, while the much-loved Aberdeen Student Show returns to His Majesty’s Theatre from April 24 to April 27 with Mounthoolin Rouge. Young theatre-goers will be thrilled by Peppa Pigs’s Fun Day Out, which will come to His Majesty’s from July 17 to July 18.
The award-winning Aberdeen student show is back with Mounthoolin Rouge. Gregor McEwan moves to the bricht lichts o’ Aberdeen to start at Nescol. His new digs overlook the cooncil’s latest attempt to win back public favour – the Mounthoolin Rouge! A brand new club on the Mounthooly roundabout. It’s nae lang afore he and his pals are immersed in the mesmerising spectacle (and undeniable chaos) o’ the club and the folk who work there, in a bid to save it from closure. Will they save I’day? Of course they will, Come Fit May!
