Birnam Institute Players present a full-length play with songs about the famous writer.
Every October, a young Beatrix Potter is sad to leave the family’s Highland Perthshire idyll and return to London. For four months each year she has been immersed in nature and local folk tales.
This comes to an abrupt halt, the year she is 16. A decade later she returns for two summers, now a published illustrator and a promising mycologist. In three remarkable days she makes a worthy scientific contribution, and writes the first drafts of the Peter Rabbit and Jeremy Fisher books.
And the rest is history...
This one-off performance tells the story of Beatrix Potter's precious and influential time in Perthshire, with some very special cameo appearances from those characters we know and love.
This is Pitlochry musician Tom McEwan's first full-length play, piecing together her Perthshire experience each childhood summer, and how the local flora and fauna stayed with her on her return to London.
Due to staff holidays, on Wednesday and Thursday this week in the cafe we will be serving Soup of the Day from 12 noon to 3pm. As usual, we will be serving serving hot and chilled drinks, cakes and ice creams from 10am to 4pm from Monday to Sunday.
Our full breakfast and lunch menus will be available on Friday and over the weekend.
We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause.
