David Colvin's award-winning production focuses on Gordon Duncan and
how he changed the life of one young piper from
Fife. “Sensationally epic and brutally intimate”, Thunderstruck
is an international award-winning production which immerses us in the
legacy and mythology of Gordon Duncan, a Pitlochry bin man, who flew
beyond the summit of his art to change Scottish music forever.The
history, rules and proud traditions of Scotland’s national
instrument, so painfully learned and proudly maintained, are torn
apart by an unruly, ostentatious, untameable musical talent.The story
of a tortured soul, but are the demons his, or Scotland’s?Take
whatever romantic notions you have of the bagpipes and leave them at
the door.Part of Scotland's 'Year of Stories' 2022.Strong language
throughout.“An unbelievable, seismic performance that brings
together comedy, drama, and some outstanding musical
talent...Hilarious and dramatic in equal measure, Thunderstruck is
quite unlike anything else.” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Fringe 2021
