Miss Lindsay’s Secret at Brechin City Hall

Miss Lindsay’s Secret is a true story of love, legacy, landscape and secret letters concealed in the Glenesk Folk Museum, in Angus.

This moving and lively show takes audiences from the Angus hills to Canada’s Klondike Goldrush, during the turbulent years of the early 20th century, in the company of The Curator, The Musician and The Man. It explores The Curator’s dilemma in finding, revealing and becoming too involved in this intimate tale of a Scottish seamstress.

The show transcends time and place, using original live music and historical material to conjure an onstage alchemy in which the hidden story of separated lovers becomes a quietly powerful allegory of global forces continuing to shape our lives and identity. It binds the past to the present, Scotland to the world, and in this time of invaded privacy, questions the morality of reading such private mail and turning it into a play.
