From Kilsyth to Carluke, 32 schools and college groups have visited Lanternhouse this week for Tally’s Blood, our co-production alongside The Gaiety, Ayr, and Perth Theatre. We would like to thank all those teachers who chose us for their Drama and English group trips.
Here are some snapshots of the week.

Delighted that all of our S4 were @CnauldTheatre this afternoon to see Tally’s Blood. This is the Scottish text studied in N5 English. I hear our staff and pupils enjoyed the performance.
