THE CROFT

A Thriller by Ali Milles
Directed by Philip Franks

The past won’t be silenced.

Based on a true highland story. In the remote Scottish Highlands two women arrive at a former Crofters Hut in the deserted village of Coillie Ghille. When suddenly the weekend getaway takes an unexpected turn. Cut off from the modern world, Laura and Suzanne find themselves drawn into the dark history of the Croft and the lives that passed before them.

In this bold and haunting play the present interweaves with the past as ancient tales surface and the terrifying truth lurking in the Croft is revealed.

The Croft will star Liza Goddard (Noises Off, Doctor Who, Bergerac), Caroline Harker (A Touch of Frost, Steel Magnolias, The Railway Children) and Gray O’Brien (Coronation Street, Casualty, Rebus: A Game Called Malice) with Gracie Follows (Birdsong) , Russell Layton (ART), Simon Roberts (Witness for the Prosecution) and Judith Rae (The Mousetrap).
