Drama Project

20th February 2020

The Penicuik Heritage Regeneration Project (PHRP) is discussing a possible drama project in partnership with Queen Margaret University drama students and the Penicuik Historical Society.

The idea is that the drama students would work with Sean Watson the PHRP Archivist and the Historical Society to produce a drama production based around the activities, events and people involved at the time of the French prisoners of war who were sent to Penicuik during the Napoleonic wars (1805-1815).It is envisaged that local people would be involved in taking part in the production , both in the planning and the actual event/play at the end of the process.
