The Roup by Bob Adams

Cast: 8, 4 male and 4 female

"Lovers of the Doric are in for a treat this week when a touring theatre company brings a play to their doorstep. The Splinters Theatre Company will be at Aboyne and New Deer with a drama called The Roup by Bob Adams. The story line is bitter sweet. For the old couple selling up the day of the roup is a sad one however, there is also plenty of fun - and a bit of love interest."
The Press and Journal

"The first performance to grace the space of the rebuilt Netherbow Theatre is a suitably down town affair. Led by John Shedden as the old man a hearty cast gives the Netherbow a fresh new lease of life."
The Herald

"Adams skilfully treads a line between effective pathos and soft social analysis, in a script replete with good jokes and moments of credible tenderness."
