Some of the highlights of this varied and exciting programme are as follows: ■ Liz Lochhead The recently appointed Scotland’s “MAKAR”, the national poet, Liz Lochhead is famed for her warmth and humanity. She never fails to truly connect with her audience. Liz manages to bridge the gap between the literary and the popular with her lively, witty takes on modern life and relationships, particularly her poems on the lot of modern women. 21 May, Theatre Royal Dumfries ■ Lockerbie: Unfinished Business - Jim Swire’s on-going struggle to find the truth is examined in David Benson’s hard-hitting and compelling political theatre with international relevance. 26 May, Theatre Royal, Dumfries and 28 May, Buccleuch Centre, Langholm ■ Charles Jencks An audience with the renowned architect of the Garden of Cosmic Speculation one of
the most original and highly praised contemporary gardens.
