aDAPTED BY Catr\u00econa Lexy Chaimbeul<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Shrapnel is the adaptation of the seminal Gaelic novel of the same title by renowned novelist, Tormod Caimbeul. It follows the journey of an enigmatic narrator as he tries to evade capture for a crime he didn’t commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in the darkest depths of 1970s Leith, our narrator treads a sordid path through the city meeting an array of extraordinary misfits, and avoiding the psychopathic former detective, Walter Shrapnel, who is convinced that our narrator tried to murder him. With anarchic humour and powerful narrative tension, Shrapnel is a novel that demands to be performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
