Tickets also available on the door Life, Death and Village Halls..... "Heaters, lights, keys... is that me done now?" The old hallkeeper recites his daily mantra as he prepares for one last bash - his own retirement party. After years of service behind the scenes, the hallkeeper turns the tables and takes us beyond the mundane chair-stacking and sweeping up to reveal a world of passion, pathos and life-changing experiences! Watching Bluebottles is a one-man show based on the life of a village hallkeeper evoking the rich diversity of the village hall at the heart of the community. This new work is the latest collaboration between Highland-based writers Euan Martin and Dave Smith who were responsible for the hugely popular award-winning Highland Festival commission, The Accidental Death of an Accordionist.
