Derring Do Deeds

A friend of mine is involved with a brand new production of Kidnapped at The Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock.
She asked if I'd like tickets for the opening night tonight so I took the kids.
What a treat. The cast of this production by Sell A Door Theatre Company did a great job of bringing Robert Louis Stevenson's tale of young Davie Balfour's adventures in an 18th century Scotland riven by division to action-packed life.
The five actors all worked hard, but Stewart McCheyne and young David Balfour and Simon Weir as Alan Breck made a great team and deserve a special mention.
My 12-year-old son really enjoyed it, which was a relief. He was sword mock-fighting me with a ruler when we got home, so it just goes to show that even in the age of iPhones and PlayStations, a bit of good old-fashioned swash-buckling still gets to a boy.
Not a great pic, but gives a flavour.
Bumped into fellow Blipper Pepysman and we had a blether about Three Way Selfies ;)

PS The production now takes off on a roller coaster journey around the UK for the next five months. Check the Sell A Door website for details
