Theatre to stage debut performance

THE debut show of a new Scottish theatre company will be performed in Haddington later this month.

Apocalypse is the first piece of work from The Occasional Cabaret, a company formed by Catherine Gillard and Peter Clerke, former artistic directors of the renowned Benchtours.

Set during the last night on Earth, Apocalypse criss-crosses from the recent past to the relentless present, as the two hosts bravely face down an unimaginable future.

The Occasional Cabaret is teaming up with New York-based Clancy Productions for the production.

Clancy Productions’ executive artistic director, John Clancy, said: “It’s exciting to be working with such a tremendous local company.”

Apocalypse will be at The Town House, Haddington, on October 22.
