You will leave the Follies humming an old tune and
thinking a new thought- Andrew Threipland
Hurray for the Follies: you add to the sum of human happiness

We so enjoyed your Follies. They have become a fixture
like the Edinburgh Festival only far less strenuous!

matters- premiers
at Fingask on Friday 7th May
Each show has the same format: four singers, two actors and a piano but a different title, theme and content which are conceived annually at Fingask Castle. We pride ourselves that the shows are slick, funny and thought provoking: Cole Porter, Plato, Milton and Mozart.
