Reminiscence Drama

Raa-Boh!

A drama production between the LMA and QMUC Drama Students was based on a series of reminiscence workshops with local older people's groups. The theme of the drama was childhood games from the past. In the play, the central character, a Rag and Bone man, keeps alive old games and stories. It successfully combined live action and puppetry.

Performances of, Raa-Boh! took place in six primary schools in East Lothian and these were complimented with workshops for the pupils on drama and puppet-making. The project culminated with a public performance at the Brunton Theatre on Friday 3rd April.

Thanks to Scottish Centre for Intergenerational Practice who provided the funding for the project.
