A DunsPlayFest Focus on...The Significance of Returning Artists


As the anticipation builds for DunsPlayFest 2024, there's an air of excitement not only for the infusion of fresh, emerging talent but also for the return of seasoned artists who have previously graced the stages of DunsPlayFest leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. Among these returning champions are the acclaimed theatre companies, Tideline Runners and Firebrand. Their presence adds a nostalgic charm, reminding us of the powerful impact that seasoned artists can have on a festival dedicated to fostering new and emerging voices.


In the ever-evolving landscape of the arts, the return of established theatre companies serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of creativity.





Tideline Runners and Firebrand, having previously enchanted DunsPlayFest audiences, are set to bring their unique perspectives and seasoned expertise back to the Scottish Borders with equally enthralling performances of 'The Honourable Gentleman' and 'A Room of One's Own'. This reunion not only reflects the festival's commitment to diversity in programming but also highlights the importance of continuity and growth within the artistic community.




While the festival is dedicated to promoting emerging talent, the presence of seasoned artists offers invaluable mentorship and inspiration to those just starting their journey. It's a symbiotic relationship where the experience of established companies infuses energy into the emerging voices, creating a dynamic and vibrant theatrical atmosphere.






In the realm of theatre, the past and the future are inextricably linked. DunsPlayFest 2024 is poised to be a celebration of this connection, with returning artists weaving their narratives alongside the exciting tales of emerging talent. The festival becomes a melting pot of creativity, where past experiences meld with future possibilities, ensuring that the DunsPlayFest remains a vibrant hub for theatrical innovation and expression.
