Perth Theatre has launched its new season of plays, served up with a twist.
Among the new productions coming to the theatre in spring is the studio play, The Signalman, which was inspired by the true story of the Tay Rail Bridge Disaster.
It played to rave reviews in Dundee Rep but theatre goers who attend the Perth Theatre production of the show will be able to experience it with a difference.
A Pasta and Prosecco option will be served up alongside tickets for The Signalman, with theatre goers being able to enjoy a greater experiential time.
Head of Sales and Marketing at Perth Theatre, Kath Clark explained the idea of adding food and drink to the theatre-going experience.
She said: “We wanted people to have an experience that is more than just a play.
“We have seen it work before with our lunchtime concerts.”
In launching its new season, the theatre has aimed to make its range of plays as diverse as possible.
She said: “We have tried to incorporate a range of content.
“Some things are more thought-provoking and others are more light-hearted.
“I think Perth represents different people with different backgrounds and they have different interests.”
Perth Theatre’s spring season will open with a new production of The Croft.
It is based on the true story of two women cut off from the wider world in a remote Scottish croft.
Perth Theatre’s production of Oscar Wilde’s comedy The Importance of Being Earnest will return to the stage while Perth’s Shakespeare fans will have the playwright’s popular Scottish play, Macbeth on their doorstep.
A range of age groups are being catered for in the new season, with Cloud Man being aimed at children between four and seven years old.
Cloud Man introduces its audiences to the puppet world of Claude, who dreams of seeing a cloud man, a rare creature who lives in the sky.
The new season’s shows will run from January until April.
