New projects
Acclaimed Wick-born playwright Henry Adam is currently writing Jacobite Country, a new comedy which Dogstar will be touring later this year. Henry is one of Scotland's leading playwrights. Dogstar produced his play 'e Polish Quine in 2007 (see productions page) and the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh has produced three of his plays, Among Unbroken Hearts, Petrol Jesus Nightmare No 5 and The People Next Door. His plays have toured abroad, and have had several foreign-language productions, winning a number of awards. Jacobite Country is also slated for an Edinburgh Fringe run followed by a five-week Scottish tour in September/October. the play will feature a cast of five and will be directed by Matthew Zajac. Dogstar is delighted that the show will be designed by Ulla Karlsson, a talented designer from Umea in Northern sweden, where she is resident designer for the brilliant independent theatre group Profilteatern.
Ulla's participation in Jacobite Country is part of Dogstar's developing relationship with two companies in Northern Sweden, Profilteatern and Vasterbottensteatern. We are developing plans for future collaborations with these companies.
Dogstar is developing more exciting new projects for production in the coming years, working with some of Scotland’s best writers. Details will come online as these projects take shape.
Dogstar's work is generously supported by the Scottish Arts Council.
