"""Picture shows :(l-r)  Cath Whitefield as Tottie , Nora Wardell as Ellen and Wendy Seager as Sara and Jayd Johnson as Liza.<br /> Bondagers <br /> By Sue Glover<br /> Directed by Lu Kemp<br /> """"Redd up the stables, muck out the byre, plant the tatties, howk the tatties, clamp the tatties... Shear, stook, striddle, stack. Women's work.""""<br /> A true classic of modern Scottish Theatre, and a haunting evocation of a lost way of life, Sue Glover's lyrical play with music and song follows six women land workers as they graft and dance their way through a year on a 19th Century Borders farm.<br /> Every ploughman had to provide a woman (a bondager) to work on the farm. If his wife was too busy with family, he hired a woman to work the fields and lodge in his home. Following these womenthrough the passing of the seasons, we feel the rhythm of the land and the harshness, humour, hope and tragedy of those who worked upon it.<br /> Picture : Drew Farrell<br /> Tel : 07721 -735041<br /> www.drewfarrell.com<br /> <br /> <br /> For Further information please contact Michelle Mangan Press and PR Manager, Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh <br /> Main Line: 0131 248 4800
