by David Greig
Friday 13 May - Saturday 4 June
Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, an English army has swept through the land and taken the seat of power. Attempting to restore peace, the commanding officer is beset by a brutal guerrilla uprising and simmering discontent amongst his own inexperienced troops. Increasingly isolated from his own men and Scottish allies alike, his efforts appear futile as the situation spins out of control. For more information please visit: www.lyceum.org.uk/dunsinane.

| |  Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco
Wednesday 1 - Saturday 4 June
The Boar's Head. Small town Wales. Karaoke in full flow. Not if Crazy Gary has his way though. Legendary bully from his school days, he makes sure he gets what he wants - like the perfect chick in view. For her, he'll do whatever it takes. Matthew D Melody, deluded cabaret singer and soon to be karaoke champion, doesn't have Gary's knack of making things go right. From upsetting Job Centre Lady to killing his neighbour's cat, his best intentions make for the worst disasters. A prayer to the Dear Lord God can always clean the slate though. And then there's Russell Markham, playing with his unpleasantly creamy mash and watching life pass him by. They have to get out! Gary Owen's play bristles with the desperately ordinary, the truly extraordinary and the just plain mad.
 Knives in Hens
Tuesday 7 - Sunday 12 June
(Previews Friday 3- Sunday 5 June)
David Harrower's Knives in Hens is a remarkable play about the transformative power of knowledge and an emerging consciousness as the world moves from rural to the urban and industrial. Knives in Hens was an instant critical and audience success when it was first produced by the Traverse Theatre Company in 1995. It has since become a modern Scottish classic and launched the career of one of Scotland's most successful playwrights whose work includes Blackbird and, for the National Theatre of Scotland, 365.
