About this title

Synopsis

One wintry morning academic Prudencia Hart sets off to a conference in the Scottish Borders. Stranded there by snow, she is swept off on a dream-like journey of self discovery, complete with magical moments, devilish encounters and wittily wild music.

'You shouldn't miss this for the world . . . Rambunctiously life-affirming and touchingly beautiful.' Herald

'More vibrantly alive than any piece of theatre I've seen in Scotland for years.' Scotsman

Inspired by the Border ballads, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart toured throughout Scotland in 2011 in a production by the National Theatre of Scotland.
