A fabulous funny fantasy musical about those who don't fit in, those who can’t fit in, and those who choose to stand with them. A new work-in-progress musical by Sarah Chew and Colum Findlay Sixteen year old Jamie has a problem. Their hometown of Fairplay has blamed people who are a bit different for everything that’s wrong for as long as anyone can remember – and Jamie and their friends, all hiding in the laundrette, are definitely not like everyone else. Tentacles, electric fingers, the ability to rip your own arm off and re-attach it – that sort of thing. Kind of hard to disguise. As things in the outside world keep getting worse, do they stay hidden, or do they go out and fight? Others is a joyful challenge to those who try to demonise minorities for personal or political gain. It’s a musical adventure story, set to a score of powerful vocal harmonies that moves from pop, to folk, to the Andrews Sisters, composed by Colum Findlay of award-winning Edinburgh based a cappella ensemble Perfect Forth. Presented in work in progress concert form, this is your chance to see this exciting new Scottish musical at the very start of its journey. Others is supported by Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Capital Theatres, Gaiety Theatre Ayr, Midlands Arts Centre, Cove Park, and Mindgarden Denmark.
