Armour: A Herstory of the Scottish Bard

A Play, A Pie, and A Pint.

Armour is a quintessentially Scottish musical that gives a voice to the women behind Scotland’s famous bard.

Behind every great man, there are great women.

30 years after the death of Robert Burns, his wife Jean Armour is living a quiet life looking after her granddaughter. That is until she finds herself face to face with the bard’s infamous mistress Clarinda (or Nancy to most).

What do the two women who inspired many of Burns’s poems and songs talk about?

Armour is a musical with original songs, and with words and lyrics by Robert Burns.

Co-presented with Traverse Theatre, The Gaiety, Paisley Town Hall and Johnstone Town Hall.
