About this show
After five-star reviews and multiple sell-out shows, the coven is back for the third year running! Join four fierce women, Scotland's own local witches, for an evening of comedy, poetry, music and stories as they attempt to summon the spirit of Rabbie Burns. An hour of enlightenment, filled with laughter, rebellion and the irresistible allure of the unknown. Expect to be moved and tickled by this wonderful piece of new writing complete with modern versions of Burns classics such as Ae Fond Kiss, Auld Lang Syne and many more!
