Catch BAA’s Deirdre Davis in Noel Coward’s Private Lives, opening at Pitlochry Festival Theatre on 17th June 2022.
One of Coward’s most celebrated plays, Private Lives follows Elyot and Amanda, who were once married to each other. They find themselves on honeymoon with their new partners, in the same hotel in the South of France and admiring the view from adjoining balconies.
Their initial horror disappears as, within no time at all, they’re sharing cocktails, a romantic serenade and rekindling their previous passion. Caring nothing for scandal, they elope to Amanda’s Paris apartment, but did they really make a mistake in divorcing?
Runs 17 June – 30 September 2022.

Belfast in the early 1990s. Against a backdrop of gunfire and police raids, four women whose lives have been turned upside down by the Troubles, carry on with everyday life.
But what starts out as a riotous night out, leads to the spilling of some very sobering truths in the early hours.
Packed with abrasive humour, Bold Girls is a story of love, friendship and betrayal.
Don’t miss Deirdre Davis in the role of Nora in the show, which runs until the 10th February 2018.
The Monarch of the GlenWhile the Roydes are very much creatures of the 20th century, their hosts still cling to the old ways: Donald MacDonald of Ben Nevis, the 23rd clan chieftain and Laird of Glenbogle Castle, is fiercely protective of his way of life, the land that he loves and the MacDonald spirit. Being more than a little cash-strapped, however, Ben Nevis (as he is also known) is not above trying to forge a match between heiress Myrtle and one of his brawny sons.
But when a group of English hikers turn up and trample all over his grouse moor, and a trespassing nationalist poet seems set to capture Myrtle’s affections, Ben Nevis’ plans come under attack on two fronts – and he’s never one to underreact when things don’t go his way . . .
The cast includes three of our BAA clients, Neshla Caplan, Stephanie McGregor and Deirdre Davis. The run begins 26th October.
