BOTHWELL, PRISONER OF MALMÖ
by TORQUIL MACLEOD, SUSAN MACLEOD & FRASER JAMES MACLEOD
1569. A cell in Malmöhus. Its occupant is James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell. With the aid of Ylva, the jailer's daughter, Bothwell tells the story of his life, his love of Scotland and of Mary Queen of Scots. It is a tale of power, intrigue and avarice
Front Row Theatre is proud to present new writing and a world premier run this August!
Here we finally get to know the tale of James Hepburn, Malmöhus’s most famous prisoner. Entertaining, and at times hard to believe, his story of battles, manipulation, prisons and Queens has been dusted off and brought to life by author Torquil MacLeod (The Malmö Mysteries), writer Susan MacLeod, and Front Row Theatre founder, writer and dramatist Fraser James MacLeod, in this exciting play.

A
CHRISTMAS CAROL
BY CHARLES DICKENS
Adapted by Mark Base & Fraser James MacLeod
Due to the loss of his source reading material, Charles Dickens takes the opportunity to dramatize his classic tale, A Christmas Carol. Dickens enacts the inspiring story of Ebenezer Scrooge's redemption with warmth and humour.
Front Row Theatre is proud to present its version of the timeless classic A Christmas Carol, in its original language. Our very own Fraser James MacLeod will be playing Dickens himself in which he plays every character imaginable: the tight-fisted misery that is Ebenezer Scrooge; the glorious Ghosts of the past, present and future; and of course, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim.
It is the perfect tale to be told on those dark winter nights just before Christmas. This story will enchant and delight people of all ages, as it has done for the last 178 years. Heart-warming, funny, thrilling, and not to be missed!

Many of us know about the world of Harry Potter and the adventures of the three friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione. Front Row Theatre gives you the chance to relive or discover those early days, when things seemed that bit more innocent and those important friendships were forming.
