ANGUS MCPHEE - Weaver of Grass


ANGUS MCPHEE or MACPHEE was a crofter from Uist who spent almost 50 years in a Highland psychiatric hospital. During this time he chose not to speak - instead he wove a series of incredible costumes out of grass. These he hung on trees in the hospital grounds.

This blog follows the progress of HORSE + BAMBOO THEATRE as they develop and tour a show about Angus....

At the festival


MJ and Mark are back from the Celtic Colours Festival at Prince Edward Island. The presentation (above), we hear, was very good and MJ has sent our Producer Esther a long list of promoters who want to find out more.

Below, the photo shows MJ representing us and 'Angus: Weaver of Grass' at the stand, where she continued to meet interested people throughout the week. A contact of ours, who was also at the festival, said there was 'nothing else like it' among all of the events on offer. Esther will be following up the contacts Mark and MJ made - watch this space.
