This is DunsPlayFest's youngest trustee, Jamie who has been part of community theatre since he was eight. He’s a regular onstage with Duns Players and at Berwickshire High School where he is currently doing Highers. He recently won the NODA North Councillor’s Rising Star Award.

He is also a writer/director whose play opened last year's DunsPlayFest, its sequel is booked for next year's festival.

🎭 Delighted to share that I’ll be directing “What’s Going to Happen to Us?” by Merry Graham at the OSO Theatre on Nov 23.

A tender, funny, and deeply human play set in a hospital room, it explores love, ageing, and the small moments that hold us together. Come along and share the evening with us.
