What will audiences want after the pandemic? Will it be daft comedies by Noël Coward? Or will they have an appetite for Pulitzer-winning cancer dramas such as Margaret Edsonâs Wit? Thatâs the dilemma faced by Jan Black in Johnny McKnightâs warm-hearted new play. She and her am-dram company have been given the go-ahead for a November run at Ayrâs Gaiety theatre and, with a singing ban ruling out a musical, they must predict the public mood by choosing just the right popular classic.
She has her eye on Blithe Spirit; her younger colleagues in the Gaiety Whirlers fancy something edgier.

When the pandemic hit, theatre groups across Scotland were left without live performances, spaces to rehearse and, perhaps most importantly, face-to-face contact with their fellow performers.
With lockdown restrictions and grim news headlines not exactly lightening the mood, it looked like many young talents would have to give up the thing they loved indefinitely, possibly for good.
Fortunately, the appropriately named Positive Stories for Negative Times project was formed to provide a lifeline.
Poetic Justice Productions. A NORTH Ayrshire production company has landed major support from a new scheme being run by Ayr’s Gaiety Theatre. Poetic Justice Productions, made up of actor Steven Duffy and husband and wife Neil Smith and Helen Aitken, was one of five Scottish groups to be given £1000 and six months of support and access to the theatre’s impressive contact book. And the trio couldn’t be happier that they shone for the team at the Gaiety, who started looking for potential projects last November. Now the community interest company will be able to bring their dream of an Ayrshire festival dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe to life. They also have plans for community based projects across Ayrshire.
