From the very first moment, now a year ago, that Linda Milne described to the Society the idea for a show that she’d been thinking about for most of a decade, and we leapt at the chance of a new show, we’d all known that The Jury’s Out was going to be something special. And we were right!

Preparations were great fun … and so was Show Week. Provost Jim Leishman opened the show and enjoyed the première, the warm audience reaction was gratifying, and the production didn’t break the bank according to our Treasurer. Altogether a very positive result, and one that was well worth all the effort involved in getting a new show ready for the stage.

We’re still working on an archive page, but you can enjoy its current form at this link. Meanwhile, we can all look forward to the 2026 production of Patience.

This is the Carnegie Hall foyer as you haven’t see it before, ready to welcome Provost Jim Leishman last evening to the launch of our World Première of The Jury’s Out … you’ll see the ribbon cutting in next week’s Dunfermline Press. Listening to Jim’s entertaining speech were a number of invited guests from NODA, the city community and neighbouring societies, most of whom stayed to enjoy a memorable first night. Lots of complimentary comments in the Tiffany Bar afterwards!

Thank you to everyone who was part of our very responsive audience, and to those who’ve bought tickets for our performances tonight at 7:30pm and tomorrow at 2:30pm. To those who haven’t yet committed to come, remember that in less than 36 hours time you will have lost the opportunity to enjoy the show, so please turn up at the box office early!
