Evie’s tongue is as biting as ever, her wit as sharp, her humour as lively but now there in no-one to hear except her cat who would rather sleep in his basket and change to her life dreaming of mice and milk.

Evie is 70 years old, an Aberdonian to her fingertips and about to experience a huge change to her life. Evie is one of Charles Barron’s finest creations. He has penned a sympathetic yet wickedly funny portrait of a women we will all recognise and can all sympathise with.

“Evie” is played by Aberdeen actor Yvonne Morton. The play was commissioned for the Doric festival celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2003 and voted best newcomer of 2004 in the Aberdeen Evening Express annual survey of theatre in Aberdeen. It has toured extensively over the years and most recently in early summer 2024 under the banner of Fleeman Productions along with other plays celebrating the uniqueness of the north East tongue.

“An evening of theatre we are never likely to forget, and our lives are all the richer for it.”

Named after Mealor’s composition, ‘Ubi caritas’ written for the Wedding of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, ‘Caritas’ means ‘love’ and the choir, made up of singers associated with Mealor over many years, presents a concert of popular and new choral classics.

Paul Mealor’s ‘Coronation Kyrie’ was sung by bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel and the Choir of Westminster Abbey during the Coronation service on Saturday, May 6. Mr Mealor has described it as “cry from the deep soul of the hills and valleys of Wales for hope, peace, love and friendship”.
