THROUGHOUT the pandemic, theatre artists have been locked out of their plague-shuttered playhouses. Many have become engaged in alternative, online activities in order both to provide much-needed employment for themselves and others, and to maintain the essential connection with their theatre-starved audiences. One of the most imaginative and rewarding of these online projects is Braw Tales, the latest online offering from Mull Theatre. Unable either to welcome visitors to its splendid, little playhouse at Tobermory or to take its theatrical wares on tour, the Hebridean company has chosen, instead, to beam (or, more accurately, stream) five new, short, animated films into our homes.
BETH Morton was appointed artistic director of Mull Theatre last year. Many people will, no doubt, think that, living through the pandemic on one of the most beautiful islands in the Hebrides, she has lucked out. However, wherever they happen to live, the health crisis has made the last 13 months an extremely difficult time for stage artists. Even now, with the vaccine rollout an encouraging credit to the NHS, theatre folk are resigned to the fact their industry will be among the last to fully reopen. For some, such as Pitlochry Festival Theatre, the next step is to programme work to be performed in an outdoor auditorium. For Mull Theatre, it’s now time to launch work that was planned and created back in the darkest days of lockdown.
