The Burns Project

An immersive theatrical Burns experience like no other.
Given unprecedented access to Burns’ private letters, this production explores the man behind the legend — in all his brilliance and contradictions. Through a captivating blend of his letters, poems, and live music — masterfully brought to life from the archives by Scottish performer James Clements and musician Lisa Rigby — the play invites audiences to experience Burns unfiltered, laying bare a complex and contradictory icon.

Set around an “immaculately designed” dinner table, the performance draws audiences into intimate proximity with the man himself, as the set comes alive with hidden voices, music, and secrets — titillating, shameful, and surprising in equal measure.
