THE KELTON HILL FAIR
DIRECTOR AND CO-WRITER
“A once in a lifetime fair, and a once in a lifetime show representing Scotland’s finest creators.”
Wonder Fools in association with D&G Arts Live presents…
“This place. Here, now. It requires you to suspend your disbelief…”
Teenager Flora is on the run. Defiant but desperately alone, until she stumbles upon a mysterious fair run by the legendary Billy Marshall.
Everyone says he’s “like 200 years old”. But that’s impossible. Isn’t it?
Written by Jack Nurse and Robbie Gordon (Same Team and 549: Scots of the Spanish Civil War) and created by Wonder Fools, returning to the stage following an award-winning and sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe with Òran.
Join Flora on her adventure and encounter unforgettable figures from Scotland’s past including the extraordinary Billy Marshall, who across his lifetime participated in pivotal moments that shaped our history. An unmissable new theatrical experience that will not only thrill audiences with its storytelling but also offer a profound exploration of contemporary Scotland, as seen through the eyes of the nation’s folklore and legends.
The Kelton Hill Fair premiered at Theatre Royal Dumfries on 21st March 2025 and played five nights at Tron Theatre, Glasgow from 25th – 29th March 2025.
