Short synopsis

Two international whisky collectors converge on a remote Highland distillery to compete for the last remaining bottle of a fabled malt whisky - The Glenigma! At the auction, the stakes are high, but is this simply a battle for a bottle, or will the unique Scottish experience change everyone's lives forever?

  • Synopsis

  • Reviews

Somewhere in the heart of a rolling Highland glen, one of the last family-owned distilleries is in trouble . . .

Having inherited a mountain of debt from her father, Mary McGregor faces a stark choice. Either close the business - and threaten the livelihood of everyone in the village - or sell her one remaining asset: the very last bottle of an ancient, fabled, malt whisky... The Glenigma!

For Mary, closure isn’t an option. So reluctantly, she posts a notice online: The Glenigma is to be sold.

Electrified by the news, whisky fanatics from across the globe descend upon the distillery to compete in the planned auction, amongst them the two obsessive collectors who seem favourite to secure the prize: Ben Munro, a Wall Street wheeler-dealer, and Yomo Yomostushi, a Japanese industrialist.

But the soft Highland air has a strange effect on visitors. And The Glenigma isn't the only attraction in this beautiful, remote location. So perhaps it’s not so surprising that when the battle for the bottle begins, things don’t turn out quite as anyone expected . . .

A finalist in Sir Cameron Mackintosh’s ‘Highland Quest’ competition, this funny, romantic and exuberant Scottish musical gives you a taste of tartan and leaves a warm glow in your heart. Slàinte mhath!

Frequently asked questions

Can we try before we buy?

Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read in that then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (generally costing under half the price of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make a just sufficient quantity of copies to support rehearsals and performances.

All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Under this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of Perusal Material  which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as pdf files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as mp3 files and (where available) an mp4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.

Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.

Do we need a Licence To Perform?

The simple answer is, yes.

Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired, licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights. (See 'Copyright Questions' below).

Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?

When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
