Mull Theatre
Add to tripMull Theatre
Based at Druimfin, just outside Tobermory on the Isle of Mull,
is one of Scotland's leading touring theatre companies. Our shows
can be seen throughout Argyll & Bute, the Highlands and
islands, and all over Scotland, from the smallest village hall to
city theatres.
Mull Theatre was founded in 1966. Established in a converted coach
house in the grounds of a Free Church Manse, its performance space
has retained a unique atmosphere. Its founders were Barrie and
Marianne Hesketh (both subsequently awarded OBEs), two actors who
had settled on Mull to bring up their families.
They took their idea into the pages of the Guinness Book of
Records as the world's smallest theatre as they produced a regular
season of plays, as well as mounting small-scale tours all over
Britain and into Europe. Marianne died in 1984 and when Barrie left
the island the subsequent year, the company was kept going, first
by his son Nick, then by a dedicated board of local supporters who,
under the direction of David Pitman, engaged a professional team
for annual seasons of plays.
