Nan Shepherd: Naked and Unashamed is now playing at Pitlochry Festival Theatre!
Nan Shepherd: Naked and Unashamed returns following its huge success at Pitlochry Festival Theatre in 2024. Award-winning Firebrand’s richly entertaining, funny, and moving play uncovers the extraordinary, unconventional woman behind the glamorous portrait on the Scottish five-pound note.
Directed by Richard Baron, whose previous Pitlochry Festival Theatre productions include Chicago, The Last Witch and Heritage.
Spiced with poetry, humour and romance, the play reveals the untold story of how Nan Shepherd’s experiences as author, teacher, hillwalker, and lover helped shape Scotland’s recent literary history; while also solving the mystery of why the manuscript of her ground-breaking masterpiece, The Living Mountain, lay forgotten in a drawer for over 30 years.
