Kapka Kassabova: Borrowed Land
Kapka Kassabova, Angus Peter Campbell
Courtyard Theatre 24 Aug
17.30 1hr

What does it mean to truly fight for your home when faced with the forces of colonialism, industry, and depopulation? In Borrowed Land, Kapka Kassabova draws a stunning portrait of the Scottish Highlands, telling the epic and urgent stories of the last true Highlanders and their battle for preservation. Today, the award-winning writer, whose recent Balkan quartet concluded with the spellbinding Anima, delves into the extraordinary, centuries-old connections between the land, nature, and people. Chaired by Angus Peter Campbell.

Supported by Claire & Mark Urquhart.
