In this production, the humour, mystery and melody of George Mackay Brown's vision of Orkney are brought together in a concentrated sunburst of dramatic voices. For The Islands I Sing is an Under Milk Wood for the North.

The voices of crofter, fisherman, innkeeper and tinker; women negotiating love, birth and death; the sound of the sea, the wind in the barley and the crystal silence of the frostbound stars. These are the island dramas of Gearge Mackay Brown: poet, storyteller and playwright.

Running time: 1 hour 45 minutes (incl. 15 minutes interval)
