The Apprentice is back!

Apr 7

Posted by Bruce Strachan in The Apprentice | No Comments

Five years since we last produced our acclaimed debut show, we are delighted to announce this year will see a limited run of The Apprentice.

We are particularly pleased to be returning to Rosslyn Chapel – the inspiration and setting for the dramatic events surrounding the carving of the famous Apprentice Pillar.

‘A Dream inspired him to carve the Pillar, his master ordered him not to.  The powerful and moving story of the choices a young man must make to fulfil his destiny…’

This year with extensive restoration work finished, you will be able to experience the Chapel and grounds without a steel scaffold cover and with much internal restoration completed.

This will be our fourth production of The Apprentice and it has sold out on every previous occasion so book early!
