Created with Liam Hurley, Gav Prentice, Julia Taudevin and Drew Wright.

A retired American steps off the plane at Prestwick, hoping to discover the land of his fathers.

An old drunk man in Methil has a mystical vision at the harbour.

A supermarket checkout girl in Port Glasgow approaches work with a golf club...

Set specifically in the town of each performance and drawing on storytelling, live music and the Scottish folk tradition, Rantin attempts to stitch together visions of Scotland�s past with its ever-changing present reality, revealing the patchwork identity of a nation.

Originally presented as part of the Auteurs project, a collaboration between National Theatre of Scotland and the Arches, and Behaviour 2013 with support from the Esm�e Fairbairn Foundation, Rantin is part cosy living room gathering, part play, part gig session.

��this gorgeous piece of ceilidh-theatre, where music swirls engagingly, is taut, nuanced and illuminating� (The Herald)
