Meet Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun: artists, lovers, outsiders. From 1930s Glasgow to wartime London, 'The Two Roberts' is a captivating love story, inspired by the true story of their wild lives.
Stunningly reimagined, 'The Two Roberts' is a profoundly moving story of devotion and obsession, art and class. It is a love letter to MacBryde and Colquhoun, the almost-forgotten artists who tried to change the way the world sees – and paid a devastating price.
‘Vivid and alive. A truly great story penned by one of Scotland's finest writers’ - JENNI FAGAN
‘Extraordinary. Barr is a gifted storyteller and a miraculous scene painter... The Two Roberts feels fresh and nuanced and entirely new’ - CURTIS GARNER
Free event, suitable for adults. Booking is essential and can be done online, in person at Girvan Library, or by calling 01465 712 813.
