TURNS OF THE TIDE

Cast: Julie Coombe, Libby McArthur & Mark McDonnell

Sisters, Sandy and Rose claim to be identical in almost every way: Runaway winners of Butlin’s talent competition 1959, they’ve been tartan-clad singing sensation, “The Heather Belles” ever since.

For the last 20 years they’ve entertained exhaustively on Mediterranean cruise-ships. So, when they unexpectedly find themselves free to spend Christmas in Boness with their elderly mother, Shona, they pack up their mini-kilts with glee.

Just one more performance and they’ll be back on shore. Easy.

Except, no one can predict what gets left high and dry when the tide turns.
