“Stunningly beautiful musical theatre…” ★★★★. (Scotsgay)

“It’s almost impossible not to find yourself engaged in every moment…” ★★★★.

‘It’s wonderful to see local history brought to life on stage…with rousing group songs and skilful close harmonies, plus some striking individual vocals’ (theweereview)

“This musical is a unique opportunity to enjoy and reflect on the life, words and music of Scotland’s greatest poet – and national treasure.”

‘Captivate’s Rabbie explodes into a glorious, fast moving and robust portrayal of the short brilliant life of Robert Burns. From impoverished poet to national celebrity to dying as a despised exciseman, the small cast of nine played their fast-changing roles with style and vigour.’
