STILL Game actors Greg Hemphill (Victor) and Paul Riley (Winston) are to re-unite for the National Theatre of Scotland comedy 'An Appointment with The Wicker Man' which comes to the Alhambra in March.
They are joined by a host of leading Scottish actors including Sean Biggerstaff who played Oliver Wood in the Harry Potter films and has also won a Scottish BAFTA for the BBC4 film 'Consenting Adults'.
Regularly popping up at the top of 'Best Horror Film of all Time' lists, The Wicker Man is regarded as a film classic.
'An Appointment with The Wicker Man', directed by Vicky Featherstone, is an all-singing, all-dancing love letter to a unique and timeless cult masterpiece.
On a remote Scottish island, the Loch Parry Theatre Players mount their am-dram version of The Wicker Man. When their lead actor goes missing in mysterious circumstances, they call on the services of a television cop from the mainland to step in and save their production.
The NTS say, "It is at once a deliciously wicked homage to, and a tender celebration of, a piece of cinema history that reveals for us the spooky undercurrents lurking just below the surface of Scottish village life.
"The Loch Parry Players are messing with forces they can't possibly comprehend but at the end of the night, only one thing is for sure . . . someone's going to burn for this."
The full cast is Sean Biggerstaff, Jimmy Chisholm, Greg Hemphill, Johnny McKnight, Sally Reid, Paul Riley and Rosalind Sydney.
'An Appointment with The Wicker Man' runs at the Alhambra from 21st to 24th March.
