A special filmed version of the National Theatre of Scotland’s 2017 production Rocket Post is to be shown as part of Mòd Ghlaschu 2019 at the CCA, Glasgow on 16 and 18 October. Rocket Poston Screen is a family show which playfully tells an extraordinary true story in English and Gaelic, and the screenings will also be followed by a free family drama workshop in Gaelic.

Packed with songs, charm and humour, Rocket Post is the tale of eccentric German scientist Gerhard Zucker and his plan which led to the famed Latha na Rocait – the Day of the Rocket – on the Isle of Harris in 1934.

Mòd Ghlaschu is Scotland’s premier Gaelic cultural festival, with a programme of events taking place across Glasgow from 11-19 October.

Rocket Post on Screen was originally commissioned as a ground-breaking collaboration between National Theatre of Scotland and The Space and filmed specially at performances on Harris. The film will also be made available for free on the National Theatre of Scotland’s website during the October half-term break from Monday 14 to Friday 18 October 2019.

Following the screenings at Mòd Ghlaschu, the film and workshops led by cast members and National Theatre of Scotland staff will tour to Gaelic schools and units across Scotland.

Full information on the project, including booking information for the screenings and workshops are available here.
