Eden Court turns 50 this year and is marking it with Confluence, a promenade performance that walks audiences through the Inverness theatre's own building from 30 October to 8 November.
The show is five short pieces. Lewis Hetherington's The Entertainer has Steven Wren as a barman looking back on queer love and loss. Sally Clay's Afterbirth uses live song to get at early motherhood. PCK Dance bring Postscript, and Anne Wood and Sodhi set Gaelic music against the rhythms of India and Pakistan in Resonant Ground. Sally Swanson's Anataireachd Àrd works through live music and storytelling.
Ticket holders meet in the foyer and are walked round in groups, backstage and into parts of the building the public does not usually see. An hour and thirty-five minutes, no interval, 12 and over.
Inverness's first dedicated whisky bar, a small and cosy room on Church Street with malts from every region of Scotland and friendly staff to guide you.

A bakehouse, coffee bar and cantina on Bridge Street in Inverness, baking sourdough, pastries and cinnamon rolls in an open-plan bakery, with dinner some evenings.
