Sealskin Trousers adapted from the short story by Eric Linklater gives a modern twist to the ancient 'Selkie' myth. Not so much a love story, more of a seduction of words, and a statement on humanities obsession with work. This show combines wonderful words with stunning aerial work and state of the art video technology to tell a simple story beautifully.

"Don't be alarmed, I'm not going to throw you over. But if you insist on a conversation on trousers, I think you should sit down again. Look at the smoothness of the water, and the light in the depths of it. Have you ever seen anything lovelier?"

Aye! Productions is a new theatre company based in Aberdeenshire established in December 2004. It is the culmination of 20 years work and learning by its Artistic Director, Jonothan Campbell. Aye! premiered it's first production 'The Ballad' in the spring of 2005

'This is a deeply-affecting physical theatre piece with arresting flying sequences. It's a mini-masterwork that slowly catches fire until it completely engulfs you. A major theatrical event that shouldn't be missed.'
Roddy Phillips on 'The Ballad' - Press and Journal.

Sealskin Trousers by Eric Linklater, directed and adapted by Jonothan Campbell, is presented by An Arts in Motion/ Aye! Productions co-production.
