Edinburgh Fringe: Largs actress Star to appear in comedy

Star Penders is appearing in Scots - a hilarious musical play about Scotland which has had two runs at the famous Pie, Pint and a Play at Oran Mor - and it was recently selected to be performed in America as part of the high profile Tartan Week celebrations in New York.

A spokersperson for Òran Mór said: "We're delighted that all the Scots cast from its Òran Mór run and performances at Tartan Week are returning for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe next month.

"They're a super talented bunch and we know they are going to smash it at the world's biggest arts festival.

The quirky play in which she stars is a musical history lesson reflecting its past, present and future, people and places triumphs and failures. 

And it is all told by a figure who has seen it all - Scotland’s greatest invention and storyteller, The Toilet!

The show is described as an irreverent and rousing journey through the history of Scotland told in 50 hilarious, riotous, song-filled minutes.

Star, 22, is part of a multi-skilled ensemble who replay some of our nations most iconic stories to answer the fundamental question; what makes a country?

Star told us earlier this year: "It is a hilarious play but it also has its serious moments and comes from the pen of award-winning writing partnership of Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie.

"I play Annie Gibbons who installed the first ever toilets in the tenement flats in Glasgow and was an unsung hero in inventors - as well as a number of other roles in the play.

"It is all new music and original songs and is not afraid to examine important issues and has an extremely good message at the heart of it about the importance of our nation."
