An adaptation by Alan Plater of George Mackay Brown’s novel. Greenvoe centres on the fate of a traditional Orkney village on the mythical island of Hellya. The natural rhythms of Orkney life are shattered when a mysterious external company, Black Star, suddenly arrives to buy out the islanders and displace them from their homes. This prophetic tale of a tightly knit island community has a cast of Orcadian voices and original incidental music by John Gray. The original production of Alan Plater's adaptation of George Mackay Brown’s first novel Greenvoe was staged at the St Magnus Festival in June 2000. It was so well received in Orkney that the St Magnus Players decided to transfer it to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the summer of 2000, where it played for a week to packed houses and won great plaudits in the national press. Due to public demand the same company, under the direction of Penny Aberdein, produced an audio CD in 2013. Link: https://greenvoe.transistor.fm/ RSS Feed: https://feeds.transistor.fm/greenvoe
