🔥 REVOLUTION DAYS / Bijli Productions 🔥

Critically acclaimed and based on real-life experiences, REVOLUTION DAYS is a gripping and deeply human story about identity, resilience, and the global events that shape us all.

Samira, a Scottish aid worker, is thrown into the chaos of the Middle East revolutions – determined to make a difference, but confronted by the devastating realities of war, humanitarian crisis, and her own growing disillusionment.

Fifteen years after the Arab Revolutions, this powerful one-woman drama asks: How and what do we choose to see?

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Marie Davie.

Marie has been a valued part of our CatStrand team as a dedicated volunteer since day one and was a friendly and familiar face to all at our Reception Desk every Friday. Her selfless and good-humoured contribution over so many years was truly exceptional and very much appreciated.

She was also a talented actress and appeared in many pantomimes and plays with Glenkens '73 Club at CatStrand, Dalry Town Hall and further afield at Drama Festivals.

Marie was a huge part of our community and will be greatly missed. Her sudden passing was a great shock to all and everyone at CatStrand sends their deepest sympathies to her husband Steve and their son Colin and family. 😔 ♥️
