A drive-in variety show, one of the first of its kind in Scotland, was staged in the grounds of Scone Palace this weekend as part of efforts to bring back arts performances.
Revival, featuring a series of songs, dance routines and magic acts, was organised by sisters Victoria, Harriet and Rohanne Compson-Bradford of Rosie Glow Productions.
They believe the show, which runs until August 30, is an important step forward in bringing theatre back after lockdown.
Rohanne said: “What started as an idea as we were chilling has now become this event.
“Everyone has really pulled together.”
Revival has provided jobs to performers and backstage personnel, while providing audiences the chance to watch live theatre for the first time in months.
The show begins with a welcome from Britain’s Got Talent star Kevin Quantum, who performs tricks during his pre-recorded message to the audiences.
The magician shares the sisters’ belief that shows like Revival are so important for the theatre industry.
He told The Courier: “It is a milestone in the fightback in getting shows back in Scotland.
“For performers, without a show to look forward to, you really suffer for a lack of a goal and a lack of human interaction.
“[Revival] is really important.”
He added: “I think it is amazing what [the sisters] are doing.”
Scottish comedian and singer Clark Stewart, from Dunfermline, stars in Revival as the compere and a singer.
He said performers have missed being able to provide entertainment to their audiences.
He said: “It is in your blood and you miss the applause. It is all we have done.
“[Revival] is a spectacular show.”
Amid the difficulties facing the theatre industry during the pandemic, Victoria, Harriet and Rohanne spoke of the importance of audiences coming out in support of the arts.
Victoria said: “For people not around here who can’t come to Revival, go and support your local theatre.”
The sisters also spoke of their gratitude for all who have supported them in getting Revival to where it is now.
They thanked their supporters who helped “even during this tough time”.
