This week the play Lost Voices will premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Nothing unremarkable in that since we shall be inundated with theatre, music and dance over the next month.
But this play is partly the work of Leither, Alex Wilson, who has co-written a story about Pan Am 103 on the 25th anniversary of the plane crashing over Lockerbie, along with Lee Gershuny of Elements Theatre, and is now helping to bring the production to the stage.
Lockerbie: Lost Voices
Scottish Storytelling Centre Fringe – Netherbow Theatre at Fringe
TheatreFor the 25th anniversary of the explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, this new play gives voice to six hypothetical passengers before and after the event. A US intelligence agent, a Scottish investigative journalist, a retired couple and a mother and her stepdaughter challenge each other with humour, love and courage to either accept the unacceptable or stand up for their personal truth. In poetic language and with original choral music, they speak from the neutrality of death and shed new light on the worst terrorist attack in the UK. www.the-elements.org.uk Age Category: 12+
