A HISTORY OF PAPER

by Oliver Emanuel & Gareth Williams

Directed by Andrew Panton

Musically Directed by Gavin Whitworth

A new magical Scottish musical about unbounding joy, impossible grief, a man, a woman and the little bits of paper that make up a life. First seen at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, A History of Paper, co-created by Oliver Emanuel (Book) and Gareth Williams (Music), won a Fringe First and the Best Director at the Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS) for Andrew Panton. Andrew returns to direct a new co-production with Dundee Rep Theatre starring Tony, Olivier, BAFTA and Emmy award winner Alan Cumming, and Olivier and BAFTA award winner Shirley Henderson. This pair of Scottish acting titans reunite after first playing opposite each other in Scottish Television’s Shadow of the Stone 40 years ago! More recently they appeared together in Brian Cox’s directorial film debut Glenrothan.
