A new romantic comedy play featuring the national Bard will be coming to Irvine this month.

In The Ghosting of Rabbie Burns, heartbroken author Ariel Winters takes herself away to her aunt’s old cottage in Ayrshire to get over her cheating ex.

As she celebrates Burns night alone,wishing that the right man would show up, she gets a visitation slightly different than she’d hoped for. The ghost of Rabbie Burns appears to give her some dating advice – and he knows what he’s talking about. 

The Ghosting of Rabbie Burns, on Thursday, January 31, features some of the national bard’s best works, such as ‘My Love is Like a Red Red Rose’, ‘Ae Fond Kiss’, ‘Charlie is my Darlin’ and of course ‘Auld Lang Syne’.

Tickets cost £15 (£13 concessions).
