We are thrilled that a new dramatic piece has been written based on the WW1 stories we have found in the Cumnock Chronicle.
Part of the Cumnock Tryst 2018, Sir James MacMillan has commissioned Martin Travers of the Citizens Theatre to dramatise the stories and pupils from Doon Academy in Dalmellington have been working with him, professional musicians and dancers to create an original work, "The Chronicles of Cumnock" to be played against a backdrop of projected photographs of soldiers.
We have a had a sneak peak at the script and it is very moving and powerful and we are really looking forward to the performance on Friday 5th October 2018 at 2pm in Cumnock Academy. And it is free though you need to reserve a ticket. Don't miss it!
