Friday 20th and Saturday 21st March - "Flora" musical performed in Inverness. Full details can be found here. The following comment has been made to the performing company;
A party of eight of us saw the world premiere of ‘Flora’ last night and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Congratulations to all concerned. The flexibility of the cast/musicians was amazing, the music and singing were great, as was the dancing. Most of us felt that the right amount of Gaelic was included and the staging and lighting were very well done. Was a special smell coming from the left of the stage? Some of us thought so! Thank you for bringing it to the attention of the Clan Donald Society of Scotland and I hope it is well received at the other venues. Regards, Lois MacDonell.
