Jamie is the latest outdoor theatre feast from DC. Jamie draws its inspiration from the legend of the Northumberland folk figure, Jamie Allan. Gypsy, tinker, tailor, soldier, spy: rich man, poor man, beggar-man and thief. He was, depending on how you saw him, an 18th century villain, or a local folk hero and champion of the people. He became the personal piper to the Duchess of Northumberland and accompanied her on a number of State occasions. But he died a pauper, executed in Durham Gaol for horse thieving, and died before hearing of his pardon.
Jamie is a high energy, highly infectious piece of visual story-telling, fusing dance, processional puppetry, fantastic live music and more than a smattering of poetry and pathos. The central character is represented by a 6 metre high puppet, animated from within, and accompanied by the last of the border deer hounds!

The touring production is available for booking at outdoor venues such as village greens, parks, gardens, fairs & fetes and festivals.
