Harlequinn presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is a spectacular, feel-good musical for the whole family, bursting with colour, energy, and unforgettable songs. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, this beloved retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his jealous brothers, and his journey from slavery to triumph is brought to life through a dazzling mix of musical styles—from pop and rock to calypso and country. When Joseph receives a stunning coat of many colours, his brothers' envy sets a dramatic adventure in motion, leading to dreams, betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness. With its catchy tunes like “Any Dream Will Do” and “Go, Go, Go Joseph,” this show is a joyful celebration of resilience and the power of dreams.

Whether you're discovering Joseph for the first time or reliving a favourite, don’t miss this technicolor triumph as Harlequin returns for the fourth consecutive year to the Village Theatre with this kaleidoscope of colour, music, and heart!

Chopin's Scotland 2025 24 October 2025 7:30pm Free, but ticket pre-booking required Low Parks Museum

 

Chopin’s Scotland, as part of the Jane Stirling Project, is a tribute to Frédéric Chopin’s pupil and friend. It tells the story of the Great Romantic and the Dunblane-born Jane Stirling – the story that began in Scotland in 1848 and has rested dormant ever since, for nearly two centuries.

During the event, you will have an opportunity to listen to a variety of Chopin's compositions performed by the inimitable Anna Dębowska. Combined with readings from Chopin's letters, they offer a musical voyage in time back to 1848, when Caledonian soil hosted the dying Chopin, impoverished by his declining lot, enriched by numerous tokens of hospitality and genuine friendship. Contextualized by Marcin Jaroszek's narration, Chopin’s Scotland spins a story of love, devotion, disillusionment and unconditional respect for this somewhat whimsical Romantic genius.

Entry is free, but tickets should be pre-booked via the online box office.
