1 WORLD PREMIERE National Theatre of Scotland presents Rocket Post Sponsored by Mackie s of Scotland Based on a true story. Written and directed by Lewis Hetherington with collaborators Ailie Cohen and MJ McCarthy, and movement director Kane Husbands. Touring to Glasgow, Stornoway, Ullapool, Thurso, Forres, Tarland, Portsoy, Aberdeen, St Andrews, Giffnock, Stirling, Alloa, Falkirk and Paisley from 19 September to 21 October 2017 Full cast is Ceit Kearney, Christina Gordon, Gavin Swift, Harry Ward and MJ Deans. The National Theatre of Scotland heads north and then across Scotland, presenting Rocket Post, an inventive new show for children and families, created by Lewis Hetherington in collaboration with Ailie Cohen and MJ McCarthy. Based on an incredible true story, the show delightfully follows the antics of German rocket engineer Gerhard Zucker and his ill-fated attempts to bring a rocket-based postal service to the Western Isles in Rocket Post opens at An Lanntair in Stornoway on 23 September, with preview performances at Platform, Easterhouse (19 & 20 Sept) before embarking on a Scottish tour to 21 October Ever heard the expression reach for the stars? Back in 1934, that s just what German rocket engineer Gerhard Zucker did with his radical new idea for delivering letters at high speed over long distances - ROCKETS! Next stop: the Western Isles, and the scene of a dramatic experiment to send two rockets full of letters on a 1600 metre flight path between the isles of Harris and Scarp. On the 28th and the 31st July Gerhard launches his rockets. On both occasions the rockets go up in flames. His vision for the future of communication explodes into thousands of tiny pieces that fall through the sky like rain. Back to the drawing board for Gerhard. But maybe, one day, his vision will be realised. A fantastically fun new show for everyone aged six plus, Rocket Post is equal parts play, gig and hoedown. Full of humour, heart and hope for the future, it s a tale of miscommunication, vaulting ambition and the joyous discoveries that can happen when everything goes wrong. Rocket Post also playfully tells an extraordinary real story, celebrating one man s ambitious endeavour and how an island community responded. The Rocket Post, a film that tells the story of Gerhard Zucker and his rocket mail experiments, was made in Scotland and distributed in The film went onto win the Festival Grand Prize at the Stonybrook Film Festival in New York. Lewis Hetherington is a celebrated playwright and theatre-maker based in Scotland. His previous acclaimed collaborations with Ailie Cohen include The Secret Life of Suitcases and Cloud Man. 1
