Vertigo Theatre presents Mary Queen of Scots Got her Head Chopped Off by Liz Lochead.

Two queens. Two kingdoms. One familiar tale of bloodshed and conflict.

Travel back to 16th-century Britain to explore the lives of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her cousin Elizabeth I of England - two powerful women connected by blood but divided by ambition. In Scotland, Mary struggles between love and duty, while facing manipulation from all sides. In England, Elizabeth uses cunning and ruthlessness to hold onto her crown. Told with sharp wit and insight, their stories race toward a dramatic and inevitable clash. After all, only one may reign.

Vertigo Theatre is a group for young people and young adults, run by a committee of young people. Most notable for their recent sell-out productions of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and first-class productions of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘The Wizard of Oz’, Vertigo Theatre are sure to entertain you.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.

Sister Act the Musical 6-8 November 2025 7:00pm and Saturday matinee 2:00pm £16 / £14 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee) Village Theatre East Kilbride

 

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is placed in protective custody in the one place she won’t be found – a convent! Disguised as a nun, Deloris struggles to fit into her new life but soon breathes new life into the choir, inspiring the sisters with her amazing voice and lively spirit.

As she builds an unlikely bond with her fellow nuns, Deloris helps them find their voices – while finding her own in the process.

Filled with uplifting music, outrageous comedy, and powerful gospel numbers, Sister Act is a sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood, and music.
