Armour: A Herstory of the Scottish Bard

After the death of Robert Burns, his wife Jean Armour and mistress Nancy Maclehose finally meet. Female-led theatre company Fearless Players bring an all-female production dedicated to the women behind Scotland’s history. Jean and Nancy inspired some of Burns' most famous work: after years of songs being written about them, it's time for their story to be told. Using the well-known music of Robert Burns, woven with original compositions, this new musical gives a voice to the women behind the bard.

★★★★★ "A marvellous addition to Scottish theatre. It’s a historical drama about the perils of celebrity, with beautifully nuanced writing and acting, as well as heart-lifting music. It’s also gloriously funny." Three Weeks
★★★★★ "...tugs at the heartstrings ..." Broadway World
★★★★ "Armour is an exceptionally mature piece of writing. It’s sentimental without being schmaltzy, and is underscored with a strong, feminist message." The Stage 
★★★★ "Warm and witty musical from Fearless Players... beautifully laced with humour." The List
