About This Event

The Corran Halls in Edinburgh will host *The Tailor of Inverness* on Saturday 31 October 2026 at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 7pm. This award-winning production interweaves a deeply personal narrative with broader political undercurrents, exploring themes of identity, memory, and the enduring scars left by conflict.

The performance is a quietly powerful piece of theatre, offering a reflective and profoundly human account of resilience and reinvention. Tickets are priced between £17.64 and £26.17.

Come along to the Corran Halls to see The Tailor of Inverness. An incredible evening of award winning theatre. Doors open 7pm.
