Pitlochry's 75th anniversary season is Alan Cumming's first

Pitlochry Festival Theatre in Scotland, is about to open its 75th anniversary season, its first since star of stage and screen Alan Cumming took over as Artistic Director.

BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Sam Hardie, Associate Director at the theatre, who is directing a revival of Iain Heggie's Wiping My Mother's Arse, and to playwright Douglas Maxwell, whose new play Inexperience will open in June, about the new season and the ways in which the new artistic director and his predecessor, Elizabeth Newman, changed the theatre's focus.

Douglas also shares the best piece of advice he was ever given about playwriting that he thinks about every day, which came from Iain Heggie.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre's 75th anniversary season opens on 23 May 2026 with a revival of the musical Once directed by John Tiffany, followed by Finn Den Hertog's production of Shakespeare's Lear starring Maureen Beattie, a revival of 2024 Edinburgh Fringe hit A History of Paper, Beckett's Happy Days starring Siobhán Redmond directed by Roxana Silbert, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie directed by Vicky Featherstone and My Fair Lady directed by Maria Friedman with Alan Cumming as Professor Higgins.

In the Studio, Douglas Maxwell's Inexperience opens on 13 June, followed by I Can Die Too by Frances Ruffelle, Sally George and Alan Cumming, Wiping My Mother's Arse by Iain Heggie (directed by Sam Hardie) and I'll Be Seeing You by Martin Sherman.
