Theatre Alba was
formed in the early 1980's to explore the essence of Scottishness
by pursuing a policyof presenting new or unrecognised plays,
with live original music and ballads.The use of the Scots
language, while not essential, is a central theme,along with
the desire to find and encourage new writing from Scotland. |

WHAT THE PRESS SAID
|
JOSEF
" It is
superbly realised........Combining taut interrogation
scenes, dream sequences and multimedia visuals this is
theatre that maximises the possibilities of its craft."
THE STAGE |
|
JOSEF
"Jeffrey Daunton's Josef is inspired;
he is believable,proud and touching. Director Charles
Nowosielski, also of Polish-Scottish heritage, makes the
most of the script's potential for the dramatic.
THE SCOTSMAN |

CHARLES
EDWARD STUART
"Not content with the picture-postcard
backdrop of Duddingston Loch for their reworking of the
Bonnie Prince Charlie story,they throw in some fine
performances and an intelligent script taken from the
writings of the late Donald Mackenzie.
For
those familiar with Scotland's history, it is arguably
the most radical of versions under the direction of
Charles Nowosielski."
THE HERALD

|
CHARLES
EDWARD STUART
"As always with
Theatre Alba,music,in this case specially composed by
John Sampson, plays a significant role.There were lumps
in many throats at the end, as a little girl planted inthe
ground a standard bearing the Saltire, and the moon, just
on the wane,appeared above the musicians' tent." THE
