The scenes introduce some diverse characters to the audience, including, the exasperated Guide leader and her mad coven of Brownies, an amorous but stubborn Bull, some Twitchy Birdwatchers, and a bunch of Wild Picts who utilise modern technology to guard Bennachie. There are three characters linking the sketches together, they are Her, Ack and Les. As the play progresses they pick up objects or "tokens" forgotten and left behind by the characters. These tokens are kept and are gathered together at the end of the play in "The Apples". |

The Eagle has Flown By Charles Barron |
The Eagle has Flown was originally commissioned by the Gordon Forum for the Arts and the Mitchell School of Drama are enthusiastic about being given both the opportunity and the challenge to perform this play for the first time. It was written with 100 performers in mind, so it has been quite a challenge to bring it all together with only 32 students (mainly aged between 10 and 18 yrs). It is a modern day , Doric comedy drama, set on Bennachie and based extremely loosely on the Twelve Labours of Hercules, (or Heracles as he was known in the original Greek.) with numerous sketches that give all members of the company an opportunity to show their capabilities. The Music has been composed by Helen Stewart with arrangements by Ewen Ritchie. The music includes arrangements for Garioch Junior Fiddlers, young members of the Inverurie Pipe Band and the Levena Taylor School of Dance, all of whom appear in the production. |
