Budding young actors given worldwide platform through National Theatre of ...
Students from a Scottish theatre arts school will expose their latest production to a worldwide audience as they prepare for the Midsummer National Theatre of Scotland 24 hour theatre extravaganza.
Set up to celebrate the organisations fifth birthday, Stagecoach Performing Arts School are one of over 200 contributors to the unique event which will be streamed by STV online.
A group of 12 young people devised the five-minute original film alongside Stagecoach drama coach and writer Claire Harper.
The murder mystery called Whodunit is about the ghostly goings-on at the residence of the Mapletoff family… the question on everyone’s lips is whether the house is really haunted or whtether it is all a cover for a murder?
The principal of Stagecoach East Kilbride Sharon Symon said: “It will be a great experience for the students to work on devising something and then performing it and having it uploaded onto the National Theatre of Scotland website.”
Spooky ghost stories are just one of the many topics covered by the National Theatre of Scotland’s Five Minute Theatre.
Hard-hitting topics such as bullying, sectarianism, drugs and life as an asylum seeker in Glasgow are also part of the Five Minute Theatre project.
There are also comedic portrayals about a famous Scottish folk song, dreams of becoming a superhero, an absurd play set in a bath and a phone call to God about some of life’s mysteries.
All of the performances will be streamed on stv.tv/fiveminutetheatre from 5pm on June 21 until 5pm on June 22.
But don’t worry if you miss some of the action. The individual entries will be available on our STV’s Five Minute Theatre site and on STV’s YouTube channel.
Around half of the videos will be available to watch once the live stream event ends at 5pm on Wednesday June 22 (GMT). The remainder will become available as soon as we can bring them to you so make sure you keep checking back to see all of the wonderful pieces.

Review & Description
An Excerpt -
Outside a jeweler's stood a hansom-quite a curiosity in these days of motors-and, as Jane glided past, the horse shied. I have never seen an animal so terrified. We went on, and at the next crossing halted. A policeman had his hand up checking the traffic. His glance fell on Jane-the effect was electrical. His eyes bulged, his cheeks whitened, his chest heaved, his hand dropped, and he would undoubtedly have fallen had not a good Samaritan, in the guise of a non-psychical public-house loafer, held him up. Jane was now close to the chemist's, and it was with a sigh of relief that I saw her glide in and disappear.
Had there been any doubt at all, after my first encounter with Jane, as to her being superphysical, there was certainly none now. The policeman's paroxysm of fear and the horse's fit of shying were facts. What had produced them? I alone knew-and I knew for certain-it was Jane. Both man and animal saw what I saw. Hence the phantom was not subjective; it was not illusionary; it was a bona fide spirit manifestation-a visitant from the other world-the world of earthbound souls.
