A Six Inch Layer of Topsoil
And the Fact it Rains

Wearing inappropriate footwear and driving a dinky wee car that is quite frankly not cut out for these muddy roads, the pair spoke to many hundreds of people. The result is A Six Inch Layer of Topsoil and The Fact It Rains; a night at the theatre that playfully weaves verbatim extracts of these conversations together with music and song to paint a picture of a changing community made up of wonderful characters.

We'll hear from farmers young and old, migrant seasonal workers, climate change campaigners, Lairds and land owners, land reformers, politicians and families as we ask what it means to provide for the future, to nourish and sustain each other, and to live together on this land.

Performed by Melody Grove and Aly Macrae - original cast members of the National Theatre of Scotland's hugely popular production The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart.

This is you, in your own words, as we heard them.
