AIF2026 - DRYAD - a storytelling adventure
Advertisement
At AIF2026, Marty Ross returns with DRYAD, a drama exploring the unexpected and unsettling consequences of a construction company attempting to clear an ancient woodland with a sinister reputation - to make way for a modern bypass.
Performed as a journey through the landscape itself, the work unfolds among the ancient trees of the Roots of Arran woodland between Brodick and Lamlash, with audience and performer moving together through the forest.
Marty Ross is an Arran‑based dramatist with a long track record writing for the BBC, Wireless Theatre, and Audible, including the recently released Scottish ghost story The Dead of Rannoch Moor. Alongside his writing, he performs his own work as a live storyteller, shaping this most ancient of art forms into vivid contemporary theatre rooted in place and story.
