TUE 22 & WED 23 FEB 2011 | 19.30

WELCOME
WELCOME TO A BRAND
NEW YEAR AT EDEN COURT.
It’s fair to say that the last twelve
months have been challenging for
many theatres and cultural
organisations. Economic uncertainty,
political change and pressure on the
public purse have meant that many
theatres, including Eden Court, have
had to make some tough decisions in
all areas of the business. That said,
2010 saw record attendances and a
huge variety of shows, events, classes
and activities – as well as the arrival in
Inverness of Doctor Who and his new
assistant, played by former Eden Court
student and Arts Education
Ambassador, Karen Gillan.
The programme of entertainment and
events we have lined up this spring is
nothing short of remarkable. We’ve
everything from our side-splittingly
funny panto, Beauty and the Beast (P22)
to Alice, Scottish Ballet’s stunning
interpretation of the Alice in Wonderland
story (P10), to brand-new stage
versions of Arthur Miller’s classic
Death of a Salesman (P07) and the gritty
true-life story of Scotland’s hardest
inmate, Jimmy Boyle, in The Hard Man
(P20). If music is your thing, then we
are proud to present the Orquestra
Buena Vista Social Club (P06) Love and
Money’s James Grant, and Idlewild
front man Roddy Woomble.
Comedy fans are in for the funniest
spring in years. Not only can you enjoy
visits from some of the UK’s most
established comics (Sean Hughes, Phil
Cool and Mark Thomas – all P26-29)
but we also see bright new Scottish
stars shining in the shape of Daniel
Sloss & Kai Humphries (P26).
World-class dance makes a welcome
return to the repertoire in this brochure
too, with the internationally-renowned
Rambert Dance Company (P05) and
Jasmin Vardimon (P13) – both bringing
exceptional dance to the Highlands.
I’d like to thank to each and every one
of our customers. I hope you will
continue to support Eden Court as
enthusiastically in the year ahead as
you always have.
Best wishes,
Colin Marr
Eden Court Director
Rambert really do

for everyone
DAILY TELEGRAPH
Rambert Dance Company is at the heart of British
dance. Following a sell-out season in London in 2010,
we welcome the company back to the Highlands with
its ravishing new work, Awakenings. Inspired by Oliver
Sacks’ book of the same name, Awakenings is a
theatrical rollercoaster based on true life stories. With
a specially-commissioned score, both passionate and
lyrical, the Rambert dancers and orchestra will draw
you into this dramatic and spine-tingling new work.
Eden Court dance lovers will also be treated to two
further works, both brand new to Inverness - Hush by
renowned British choreographer Christopher Bruce,
and Itzik Galili’s spectacular samba-inspired A Linha
Curva.
Under the artistic direction of Mark Baldwin, Rambert
Dance Company is at the top of its game, having won
the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in
Dance in 2010. The company last visited Eden Court in
2009 with the enchanting Eternal Light, which was
one of the highlights of the year.
With 22 of the world’s finest dancers and incredible
live music from the Rambert Orchestra, Awakenings
should be at the top of your New Year to do list.

EMPIRE THEATRE
By ARTHUR MILLER. Directed by IAN GRIEVE.
Willy Loman never made a lot of money.
His name was never in the paper.
He’s not the finest character that ever lived.
But he’s a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him.
So attention must be paid.
34 years ago, travelling salesman
Willy Loman climbed into his car
to chase the American dream:
running on hope and ‘riding on a
smile and a shoeshine’ into the
land of opportunity.
Death of a Salesman is the story of
Willy Loman’s life, told in one day.
Willy, now 63 returns home for the
last time to his family - with his
memories, his daydreams and a
terrible feeling that he might have
taken a wrong turn somewhere
along the road.
We are delighted to offer Highland audiences a rare chance to
experience an evening with true music legends. Orquesta Buena
Vista Social Club™ stalwarts combine in a 15 piece band - direct
from Havana to present some of the finest Cuban music ever
made.
In 2011 the band will take you on a musical excursion from the
original 1996 Buena Vista Social Club™ recordings (which sold
over 7 million copies) to the present day heat of Cuba's clubs
and dancehalls.
Joining the band for this incredible concert will be Omara
Portuondo, a member of the original Buena Vista Social Club™,
whose last visit to Eden Court sold out in record time.

Written by the legendary Arthur
Miller (The Crucible, All My Sons, A

Performed by COLLECTIF ACROBATIQUE DE TANGIER
Directed by ZIMMERMAN & DE PERROT
Last year we brought the supremely talented performers
from Petit Mal to Eden Court – they were one of the
highlights of 2010, so we are delighted to be able to
present a show which is just as unique, just as
spectacular and just as enjoyable. Chouf Ouchouf brings
together contemporary performance and traditional
Moroccan acrobatics in an explosion of North African
culture. Chouf Ouchouf reflects the daily life in the Medina
in a witty and highly skilled show for all ages over seven.
The Collectif Acrobatique de Tangier collaborate with
Swiss artists Zimmerman and de Perrot to capture the
danger, joy and urgency of life in Tangiers. The Medina,
the old quarter, where it's ten to a house, and a hundred
to the narrowest street. Shout or you won't be heard;
push to the front or never be seen. Life and colour lies
round every corner, animals and cigarette hawkers fill
the squares. Dusk falls like a shutter, then the night.
Silently the walls open, and amid the maze-like streets
and along the rooftops figures move on secret agendas.
What, or who, is in the bag?

one of Scottish Ballet’s most popular productions, returns to Eden
Court in January 2011.
Tormented by her stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella is lost
and lonely, until a simple act of kindness summons her Fairy
Godmother who sends her on a magical journey to find happiness.
Scottish Ballet and the creative team behind Cinderella
and The Nutcracker present Alice, an extraordinary
adventure into the depths of imagination.
With sumptuous designs from the award-winning designer Antony
McDonald, Scottish Ballet’s vivid reworking of this much-loved
fairytale transports you to a decadent Vivienne Westwood-meetsAndy Warhol 18th Century France. Prepare to be swept up in
Prokofiev’s romantic score - performed live by the Scottish Ballet
Orchestra.
Drifting through episodes from Lewis Carroll’s treasured
stories, Alice tumbles into a strange world full of
fantastical characters, and guided by Carroll himself, she
has to rely on her wits to find her way out.
Featuring choreography by Artistic Director Ashley Page,
otherworldly designs from Antony McDonald and a
specially commissioned musical score by Robert Moran,
this is an unforgettable take on the most curious of tales.
The exceptional dancers of Scottish Ballet bring unforgettable
characters to life with genuine emotion and plenty of wit, making
Cinderella a fantastic feast of classical and modern dance as
original as it is visually striking.

Director Matthew Richardson brings Verdi’s Rigoletto to
the stage in a stylish, intelligent and theatrical production.
Rigoletto
Gilda
Based on Victor Hugo’s play, Verdi’s opera tells the tragic
tale of Rigoletto, a hunch-back jester at the court of the
Duke of Mantua, who is forced to find new conquests for
his carefree, womanising master. As the web of court
intrigue tightens around him, Rigoletto finds himself the
victim of a grave curse, but it is his daughter Gilda who is
the one to suffer.

From the aching naivety of Gilda’s first love to the Duke’s
untroubled revelry and Rigoletto’s tortured realisation of
his failure as a father, Verdi takes the characters from
elation to despair in an opera densely packed with
extraordinary music.
English baritone Eddie Wade sings Rigoletto in his debut
in the role, and Edgaras Montvidas, (Nemorino in The
Elixir of Love), sings the role of the Duke. Scottish Opera
Emerging Artist Nadine Livingston brings a fresh
innocence to the role of Gilda. Tobias Ringborg, well

In Girl X the Mills case is examined from the
point of view of the onlookers, a Greek chorus

that asks what could or should happen next? In
a staged debate, performer and disabled rights
2+
activist Robert Softley challenges this chorus,
examining the Mills case and related ethical
4+
issues. When do private matters become public
concern? Is the majority always right? Do
5+
wheelchair users know better? Where will it
all end?

Inspired by debates on internet forums, Girl X is
a powerful and provocative new piece of theatre8-12
from Pol Heyvaert, the creator of Aalst.

ONETOUCH THEATRE
THU 17 MAR 2011 | 20.00
ONETOUCH THEATRE
Fresh from their smash-hit seasons at
the Edinburgh fringe, join two of the
country’s hottest rising comedy stars
for one hilarious night only. Daniel
Sloss is Scotland’s youngest comic
prodigy. He is a typical half-man-halfXbox, hormone-ridden teenager and he
has just turned 20…..
He started doing stand-up when he was
just 16, was one of the youngest-ever
So You Think You’re Funny? finalists,
wrote for Frankie Boyle on BBC’s Mock
the Week, was the first stand-up on The
Paul O’Grady Show and sold-out his
first solo Fringe - all before he started
shaving. You might have seen Daniel
on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy
Roadshow, The Rob Brydon Show or 8
Out Of 10 Cats … or maybe you laughed
yourself silly during his second
Edinburgh fringe season. It might even
be that you’ve never seen Daniel before,
but believe me, once you’ve
experienced Daniel Sloss’ unique take
on comedy, you’ll never forget it.
Daniel is joined by another fast-rising
comedy star, Newcastle’s supremely
funny Kai Humphries. A 2009 finalist in
the prestigious So You Think You’re
Funny? contest, Kai’s first TV
performance was recorded almost
exactly one year to the day after he first
stood on a stage (in a special for the
Comedy Channel alongside Kevin
Bridges, Tom Stade and Mike Wilmot).
His debut season at the Edinburgh
fringe was a huge success and he is in
demand all over the country as a
comedian and compeer.
Star of the future...
Charming, self-deprecating
and genuinely funny

"Sheffield's finest synthesizer player

decides it's time to instruct the
Nation in moral matters. Well, he
would have done - had nextdoor
neighbour and sole agent, Ken
Worthington not mistyped the show's
title, turning morals into more rolls...
John's reaction to this mishap is
philosophical. At least now his new
show can consider - not just the
Nation's moral decline - but the vast
range of exotic breads appearing in
the high street, as the humble roll
fades into obscurity. Paninis,
ciabattas, pittas, plus the peshwari
naan which John recently enjoyed a
bite of, inspiring his exciting new
ballad "How's your nan?"
"How's your nan? How's your nan?"
Had the crowd laughing
hard with loveable accent,
silly stories and exit joke,
too rude to print, that had
them in stitches

finding out about the state of an
unleavened bread - that's what i said

KAREN GILLAN
Eden Court provides so many
great opportunities for studying
theatre, dance and filmmaking in
the Highlands. I did a lot of my
initial training with them
including my Higher Drama and
completing my LAMDA
certification. Their tutors were
always there to support me. I had
my first real experience of acting
with Eden Court and it was their
knowledge and experience that
encouraged me to take the next
step and pursue a career in the
arts.
Eden Court’s Art Education
Department is a great resource
for everyone in the Highlands
both young and old. If you haven’t
tried yet, start participating and
get inspired!’

Tell Me on a Sunday charts the romantic
misadventures of a young English girl newly
arrived in New York. Brimming with optimism,
she seeks success, companionship and, of
course, love. But as she weaves her way
through the maze of the city and her own
anxieties, frustrations and heartaches she
begins to wonder whether - in fact - she's been
looking for love in all the wrong places.

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SHACKLETON
THE PSYCHIC BARBER
TUE 01 FEB 2011 | 19.30
EMPIRE THEATRE
In the last ten years,
internationally acclaimed
mountaineer Stephen
Venables has twice repeated
Sir Ernest Shackleton’s
famous crossing of South
Georgia. One of the great
epics of exploration,
Shackleton’s treacherous
expedition to cross
Antarctica via the South Pole
is a tale of escape and
survival more miraculous
than any fiction.
Forced to set out in search of
help after his ship was
crushed in the Antarctic ice,
Shackleton voyaged 800
miles across the Southern
Ocean. On reaching South
Georgia, he and his
companions continued on
foot with no mountaineering
equipment and minimal
supplies, crossing thirty
miles of unknown, unmapped
glacial mountains. They
finally reached the whaling
station of Stromness where
they were able to mount the
successful rescue of their
remaining 22 companions
marooned on board the ship.

The story of Die Fledermaus is a tale of revenge, with Dr Falke
seeking to settle the score with Eisenstein for a previous joke
gone wrong. He gets his revenge in style at a risqué party at the
home of the outrageous Russian aristocrat Orlofsky. Through the
course of the party there is case after case of mistaken identity.
Opera della Luna have earned themselves a matchless
