PAMIS was delighted to take part in the sensory story mini-fest story-making workshop on Saturday at @scotstorycentre.bsky.social, along with @callscotland.org.uk. The event was organised and hosted by My Kind of Book, and what a wonderful day it was!

Also at the @scotstorycentre.bsky.social , The Invaders’ Fear of Memories; a powerful solo play by Ben Rivers, runs this weekend in #Edinburgh Based on the diaries of his great-grandfather Yosef Nachmani, a key figure in the colonisation of #Palestine, this story is told over 12 characters.

Home to some of #Scotland's best new writing, the @scotstorycentre.bsky.social plays host to Beastie on Thursday. Blending dark humour and storytelling with animation and an original folk score, this part Highland ghost story looks to be a proper highlight about the monsters we create.

PUNTER REVIEW #2 Maggie (Audience member) 5 AUG 2025 This is a masterpiece of acting... deeply engaging show. Great to see the protrayal of Scottish characters from theatre, culture and history portrayed with such intelligence, affection & acerbic wit. #ANOBLECLOWN @scotstorycentre.bsky.social

Really enjoyed the latest iteration of @mikedaviot.bsky.social's A Noble Clown @scotstorycentre.bsky.social, combining extracts from his plays with personal narrative to provide revealing insights into the life and performances of the great 20th Century Scottish actor, Duncan Macrae.

Brite Theatre's Timonopoly @scotstorycentre.bsky.social is a lovely piece of interactive theatre converting Timon of Athens into a boardgame in which Emily Carding skillfully leads members of the audience through a series of enjoyable, non-threatening activities, based on Shakespeare's play.

We are open and all shows running as usual! Its 241 day too, there is still plenty to catch! 🎟️ shorturl.at/2somQ

ONLY 9 SHOWS LEFT. '...this really blew me away! What a wonderful performance...' Melanie Hindley (audience) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Broadway Baby and Sinners Review. #ANOBLECLOWN @scotstorycentre.bsky.social
