The Events

My choir was Jesse and Mr. Aziz and Frank and Mrs Singh and Isaac and Sherrie and Corrine and Gisela and Kamal and…

That’s who it was.

Now it’s just me.

When Claire, a priest and choir leader, survives a mass shooting in her church, she embarks on a desperate search for answers that will ultimately bring her face to face with the attacker.

David Greig’s modern classic returns in a bold new staging by Wonder Fools (The Kelton Hill Fair, Òran, 549: Scots of the Spanish Civil War) in association with Cumbernauld Theatre. Featuring a live community choir, every performance becomes unique – powerful, uplifting, and rooted in the place where it is staged.

Described as “heartfelt and haunting” ★★★★ The Scotsman and “a play that demands to be seen” ★★★★The Stage, The Events invites audiences to share in a story about resilience, forgiveness, and the extraordinary power of community to heal after tragedy.
