Soup And A Story
Adapted from Linmill Stories by Robert McLellanWorking in partnership with lunch clubs for older people in rural South Lanarkshire, Soup And A Story provides warmth, a nutritious free meal and a live performance of Robert McLellan's Linmill Stories by a professional actor.Based on the author’s experience of growing up on his grandparents’ fruit farm near Lanark a century ago, the Linmill Stories give us a priceless insight into a vanished world. Writer Donald Campbell said "Robert McLellan wasn’t just a playwright, he was something else – something different, something special." The same applies to rural older people in Clydesdale and this project is designed to celebrate them.Contact clare@brawclan.com for booking details.Braw Clan is delighted to receive funding for Soup And A Story from SSE Renewables' Sustainable Development Fund, allowing us to team up with lunch clubs in Biggar and Roberton.
