A Giant On The Bridge

Thu 19 Mar
20:00 - 22:00
Doors open 19:30
What happens when someone leaves prison and tries to find their way home? 
 
A Giant on the Bridge is an award-winning piece of gig theatre that explores this question through a captivating blend of original songwriting, Scottish hip-hop, and immersive storytelling. 
 
Created alongside people with lived experience of the criminal justice system, this is not a news headline - it's a human story. It's about identity, family, community, and what it really feels like to return to an uncertain future. Featuring an incredible lineup of Scottish musical talent - including members of Admiral Fallow and acclaimed hip-hop artists Solareye and Raveloe - this is theatre that hits hard, musically and emotionally.
 
Described as "a work of art, and utterly charming" (Lost in Theatreland) , this is a rare chance to see how real-life stories can be transformed into compelling contemporary performance.
 
"The strength of A Giant on the Bridge is its earnest desire to share the feelings, impact and challenges of coming out of prison." Sophie Good, for AllEdinburghTheatre.com

Lovely wee cafe with amazing service. Been here 3 times now and always notice how friendly and upbeat the staff are. The coffee and cake is top notch also. Will definitely be back the next time I head to Dunkeld!
