Heroica has just completed a hugely successful 12-month tour of
Pat Douthwaite: Alive and Kicking
by Anna Carlisle
starring Alexandra Mathie
‘The play is a triumph’
Tommy Zyw, director The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh
Twelve stunning performances in 12 months - September 2024 through to September 2025 - in both England and Scotland! This dazzling play made a whirlwind tour of UK and Scottish art galleries and theatre spaces: in Hebden Bridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scarborough, Isle of Berneray, Milngavie and Kirkcudbright. And it was mind-blowing for audiences
and Heroica company members alike!

‘This is theatre that genuinely collaborates with its audience, taking you on a journey, often outdoors,
always in unusual spaces, and inviting you to roll up your sleeves and engage with activity along the way.’

Joan Eardley: A Private View
Reviewed by Jan Patience, Herald Scotland:
‘This touring production feels like it is finally breaking down the barriers to understanding the power behind Eardley’s paintings. By scraping away the layers of this complex and fiercely talented individual, the audience is given a fleeting glimpse into her inner life. It made me weep – and that was a good thing.’
