Flora
Written by BELLE JONES
Music by AJ ROBERTSON & JOHN KIELTY
Directed by STASI SCHAEFFER
Flora MacDonald smuggled Bonnie Prince Charlie “Over the sea to Skye” but what happened to her next?
​
In this new musical about one of Scotland's most famous daughters, Flora is a reluctant heroine caught up in the power games of the men around her, as she braves imprisonment, fame, famine, migration and war in her lifelong struggle to keep her family safe.
​
Featuring irresistibly beautiful, Scottish Traditional-inspired music with a catchy, contemporary edge, from award-winning composers AJ Robertson (BBC Proms; The Seven Sorrow, Celtic Connections;) and John Kielty (Glasgow Girls;The Stamping Ground); Flora is a whirlwind of ensemble storytelling presenting her epic life story as if in her own words.
