Overview
A Traverse Theatre Company production with Dundee Rep Theatre
When shy Aaron joins the hotel’s ramshackle team, he encounters volatile guests, inept management and even rumours of singing ghosts haunting the corridors… Amongst the madness, Aaron overhears a mysterious singer, who captures both his ears and heart, and sets about battling with the hotel’s magical chaos to find the woman who owns it, knowing they are fated to be together.
This heart-filling ensemble comedy from Olivier Award-winner Isobel McArthur (Pride and Prejudice* (*Sort Of)), directed by Gareth Nicholls (Ulster American), explores how art can bring us together in hopeless circumstances.
Notes: Scenes of sexual nature, reference to suicide, strong language, and exuberant singing (!).
Neil Webb, Director Theatre and Dance, British Council and one of Made in Scotland 2023 panellists, talks about the reasons why The Grand Old Opera House Hotel was selected to be a part of the MiS showcase.
