Production Team

The Big Shop team leaders

The Big Shop team are around to help co-ordinate the production. Here are some of the names behind the current Big Shop project.

 

Artistic Director: Symon Macintyre, has over 20 years experience in running large scale site-specific events. He is also writer, performer and director in both theatre and television. Symon is Artistic Director of The Puppet Lab and produced & directed two previous ‘Big-Shops’

Writers:

John Harvey
John has written for every major Scottish Theatre & Dance Company you can think of over the last 20 years including TAG, Lung Ha’s & Communicado (where he wrote their first show and others to follow). Perhaps the work which John is most renowned for is Witches Blood which he wrote back in 1987 and is still very much talked today about as a landmark in community theatre.

Euan Martin and Dave Smith
Dave and Euan first met up in the percussion section of the ground-breaking Aberdeen electric ceilidh band The Reel Aliens.

The writing partnership is now well-established and Dave and Euan have formed their own company Right Lines productions as a vehicle for their new work.

The first production as Right Lines was "Who Bares Wins"(2004), a hugely successful farce based on the antics of the Naked Rambler.  In 2006, the company produced “Illicit”, a one woman show about the perils of business start-up, illicit whisky and perfume. 

 

Designer: Iain Halket, his design work includes Finders Keepers for Benchtours / Lemon Tree, The Big Shop, and Manon Lescaut for Theatre Sans Frontiers. Iain also runs The folding Theatre Company, performing throughout the UK and internationally.
