What other people are saying about
Royal Stuarts
They don't just tell stories from history, they get the audience living it. They are entertainers
of the first degree, with shows that are entertaining and educational for people from all walks of
life.
| Who Says History Has to be Boring?!?!?!?! |
Imagine a show so different, an approach so fresh, a concept so exciting, that you will find
yourself...
... singing along with songs like, Thistle, Best Man for the Job, or King's
Cannon.
...actually in the show, approaching a lone cottage in Auld Scotland or attempting to milk a
contrary "Coo".
...sighing wistfully at the tragic love life of Mary Queen of Scots, or the travails of Young Prince
Charles II
...celebrating the Jacobean cause as you cheer on Bonny Prince Charlie in his daring escape to
freedom.
...laughing out loud as Stuarts get "On the Throne Again", proving all the great songs have their
roots in Scottish History.
Real Crowd Pleasers
Since their inception in 1994, the Royal Stuarts have performed throughout the western United States. This year alone over 20,000 people in the US will be entertained by this energetic, educational group.
In August of '95, and again in '96, the Royal Stuarts performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's largest performing arts festival.
Reviews include:
"I loved that...you'll love it, too."- The Sunday Times, Edinburgh
"the group has a strong commitment to historical accuracy. This is admired."
- The Stage, London
The Royal Stuart's shows have become so popular they often have audience lined up and waiting for the next performance to begin. It is not unusual for event sponsors to request Command Performances in order to give competitors and event volunteers a chance to see these exciting performers.
This is because the Royal Stuarts get the audience involved, let
them experience the history (and frivolity) first hand.
The shows are exciting. The audience sits spell bound listening to stories about Bonny Prince Charlie and his daring escape to the Isle of Skye or how the dynasty all began (Steward Made King).
The Royal Stuarts perform a variety staged skits and stories highlighting the Stuart Monarchs. Each story brings to light aspects or attitudes of Scottish history often hidden in the history books.
Original tales taken from over 350 years of Scottish history include:
These stories help bring to life the people beneath the crown.
In addition to the historical pieces, the Royal Stuart repertoire includes a host of ever popular folk tales such as The Wee, Wee Mannie and the Big, Big Coo or Gudeman & Gudewife. These folk tales and myths of Scotland are told in a lighthearted, comedic manner and illuminate the Scottish attitudes, character and culture as only folk tales can.
Royal Stuart performances often include audience participation, making learning an active and enjoyable experience. The dynamic shows inspire audiences to learn more about Scottish culture and heritage. So, don't be surprised if you're watching one of their shows and you find yourself playing a king or a theif (or even a Coo).
Play a part and
experience the history!
