SCOTTISH singer-songwriter Horse McDonald is to take her award-winning one-woman play Careful on the road for a Scottish spring tour.
First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, the autobiographical story of her triumph over adversity through music, was written in collaboration with writer and comedian Lynn Ferguson, directed by Maggie Kinloch and produced by The Gilded Balloon.
It will tour to 18 venues throughout Scotland from March 16 to May 27 including Giffnock, Dunkeld, Musselburgh, Dundee, Stirling, Inverness, Peebles, Greenock, Motherwell, Kirkcaldy, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Paisley, Aberdeen, Cove, Ayr, Wick and Glasgow.
After each performance, Horse will be joined on stage by Kinloch for an intimate question-and-answer session. She will also weave into the second half of the evening a small selection of her favourite songs, prompted by the audience questions.
Careful has been described as “haunting, compelling, candid and fearless”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
