1951 saw not just the birth of Pitlochry Festival Theatre

Glasgow, 1920: Dr. Johnson - earnest, English, newly-graduated - seems to have fallen on his feet when he is invited to join the Glasgow practice of the esteemed if somewhat eccentric Dr. Angelus. With a steady flow of patients and the constant guidance of his philosophizing new mentor, Johnson's future looks positively rosy.

But it soon become apparent that all is not as it quite seems in the Angelus consulting rooms. Angelus`s mother-in-law is seriously ill with a mysterious, debilitating condition, despite receiving around-the-clock care from Angelus himself. The relationship between the married Dr. Angelus and his precocious maid Jeannie doesn`t seem entirely proper. And the renowned consultant, Sir Gregory Butt, reveals grave concerns about Angelus`s medical skills - and advises the young Johnson against signing any death certificates for "unexplained" demises . . .

Dr. Angelus opens on Wednesday 17th August. For tickets, contact PFT's box office on 01796 484626 or buy here online.
