Scottish Events this week

Here's some truly random Scottish keech going down this week.

Heroes, Wyndham's Theatre, London.
Ken Stott, the man born to play Rebus, treads the West End boards. No idea if it's any good but in the unlikely event that Stott is bad you've got John Hurt riding shotgun.

The Real Thing, Theatre Royal, Glasgow till November 12.
Like the above this is by Tom Stoppard - Tom Conti stars. My Ma went on Monday night - she says it's mince and she left at the interval. This is a poor review indeed.

Skye Jazz Festival, on Skye (like duh), November 11 to 13.
This will quite possibly make you wish that they hadn't built the bridge - nice!

Petrolia, the Lighthouse, Cromarty on Saturday 12th November 2005 at 6.30 pm.
You'd have to be fucking mad or a publicly funded arts project to hold an open-air film screening in Scotland in mid-November. Guess which?

STOP PRESS - Sadly due to sudden illness the Australian String Quartet will no longer be playing in St Andrews this weekend. Tickets holders are politely informed that the replacement event will no longer be "bring your own".
