Youngsters in the Highlands and Islands have been treated to performance of a new Gaelic language pantomime Seocan agus am Bogsa-ciùil (Seocan and the Accordion).This is the 11th successive year that Fèisean nan Gàidheal has produced and toured a Gaelic language pantomime thanks to funding from Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Creative Scotland and HIE.
The show kicked off in Acharacle and will end tomorrow, Friday December 14, with 29 performances ensuring children in more than 40 Gaelic-medium schools enjoyed the event.
The panto features Iain Beggs, Megan MacLellan and Katie Hammond, and was written and directed by Angus Macleod, drama officer with Fèisean nan Gàidheal, who said: ‘The story follows the adventure of young Seocan, who in his efforts to earn some money for Christmas, encounters a helpful Highland genie called Fergie and the legendary but not-so-giant giant Murdanaidh Mòr.
