Last One Out
A Scottish Opera & Sound Festival co-commission
Supported by Creative Scotland
New, short opera Last One Out was originally commissioned as a site-specific work for
Fraserburgh Lighthouse in 2012. It is a haunting glimpse into one family’s tragic past -
a bittersweet tale of loss, memory and grief.
A late night radio host has an encounter with a caller that leaves her disturbed and
distressed. A grief stricken man returns to a lighthouse he visited as a child and begins
to hear voices from the past, long since buried.
Written for string trio and voice, this moving show mixes live performance and evocative
country music tracks.
Recommended for ages 12+
Music Gareth Williams

Last One Out was performed on:
9-11 August, 5.15pm, 13-18 August, 5.15pm, 20-26 August 5.15pm
