Based on the original stage show from Helen Milne Productions and produced in association with Helen Milne Productions.
Dundee Rep in collaboration with Eden Court Highlands presents the filmed reimagining of Islander, the award-winning two-hander folk theatre musical conceived and directed by Amy Draper with music and lyrics by St Andrews-born writer and composer Finn Anderson and book by Stewart Melton.
This reimagined version is filmed both on location and on the stage of Dundee Rep for cinema exhibition and on-demand viewing. We are delighted to premiere the film at Eden Court before it becomes available to stream on Rep Studios On Demand from the 28th August.
Originally presented as part of Made in Scotland 2019 showcase at Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it was Winner of Musical Theatre Review’s Best Musical Award, this environmental show continued its success with an off-West End run and a BBC Radio 4 adaptation. This reimagining of Islander for film stays true to the show’s beautiful folktale storytelling and score.
