A Play, A Pie and A Pint - Armour: A Herstory of the Scottish Bard

Behind every great man, there are great women.

30 years after the death of Robert Burns, his wife Jean Armour is living a quiet life looking after her granddaughter. That is until she finds herself face to face with the bard’s infamous mistress Clarinda (or Nancy to most).

What do the two women who inspired many of Burns’s poems and songs talk about?

Armour is a quintessentially Scottish musical, with the music of Robert Burns and original songs, that gives a voice to the women behind Scotland’s famous bard.
