  • Motion reference: S6M-17181

That the Parliament welcomes the work of all involved in presenting the production of Drookit! by the author, Susi Briggs, and musical director, Alan McClure, at the Theatre Royal, Dumfries; notes that it was inspired by a story on Oor Wee Podcast, which was created by Susi and Alan; acknowledges Susi’s previous term as the Galloway Scots Scriever and what it sees as her formidable body of work in the Scots language, including her children’s books, poetry and musical performances; notes that the performance is part of the award-winning theatre company, Braw Clan, and its Unlocking Scots programme; celebrates the leading role played by Braw Clan in helping stage and promote Scots language live theatre and performance; acknowledges the support of Creative Scotland in making the production possible, and welcomes the continued efforts of many to promote the status and normality of the Scots language in culture and society, including across the South Scotland region.
