Jack and Beggar's Island


Bridges Between

(Fri 25 Oct: 8pm)

With the spark of divinity and the flaring forth of humanity, Jack begins his journey to forge the connection between Heaven and Earth. The most powerful freedom story of Scottish oral tradition is recreated by international storytellers Jimmy Williamson, Claire McNicol and Linda Williamson. Voices from Scotland, Ireland and America connect with the musical fusion of Toby Shippey and friends, as folk hero Jack helps the blind, the oppressed and the reprehensible king.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
