Vanishing Point Unplugged, presents SPIN!
Devised and directed by Catriona MacLeod
Produced by Vanishing Point
A co-production with An Tobar and Mull Theatre
Spin! is a new show from the team that brought you The Dark Carnival: Unplugged and The
Metamorphosis: Unplugged.
A woman can hear a voice coming from her brand-new washing machine. When she talks to
it - to her surprise - it talks back, and it’s surprisingly good conversation.
The woman and the machine hit it off, but soon it seems that this new high-tech,
environmentally friendly best friend knows a little bit too much about her - who her
neighbours are, what her husband does for a living and how many children she has. It knows
what she eats, what brand of toothpaste she uses and who she votes for. It’s not long before
she is swirling around in a divisive world, and the machine is threatening to do more than air
her dirty laundry.
Spin! is a darkly humorous and satirical show about wishing, washing and information
warfare. Join us for a great night out of comic theatre, cake and a complimentary (but not
compulsory!) drink.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.

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!
