Dunsplayfest

"An exultation of the possible!

DunsPlayFest (established 2019) is an annual nine-day celebration of new drama, community, creativity and joy, now firmly established around the beginning of May and getting ready to burst into life in Duns on Friday 26th April. A FREE party will announce the start of this jam-packed and ever-more-popular festival of plays, readings, workshops, children’s performances, comedy, music, hot food, good drink, conviviality and fun. With its special blend of local talent and the very best of professional touring theatre, DunsPlayFest remains unique. With the Volunteer Hall in Duns skillfully adorned for the occasion, everyone who comes through the door knows that they are in for an extraordinary time - a time of magic and wonder, of challenge and deep thought – a time to be remembered!" (John McEwen, Festival Director)

There is a strong Borders theme runnign through the festival - not just because we feature so many local performers - but also in the stories we tell. Find out about
'The Monk of St Anthony', retelling one of the ever-popular Wilson's Tales; 'The Fatal Misjudgement' of Mary Queen of Scots; 'Wojtek the bear' a short film about the Borders wartime hero; or 'El Duglas' telling of the exploits of the Black Douglas. Not to mention the third in the series of Duns Players hysterical productions 'Nothing ever happens in Duns!' Nothing could be further from the truth!
