But we ken whan a actor performs Scots on stage, oor precious leed is alloued tae sing, gurr an bruind. Hit connects deep doun wi fowk (an no juist Scots speakers) in the maument. Hit alloues fowk tae be sweepit up in hit\u2019s bonnie daurkness an gies thaim the chance access hit\u2019s fou pouer. That\u2019s hou we dae whit we dae.<\/p>\n

Dae ye hae a favourite Scots phrase or saying?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s lik askin a body whit\u2019s thay\u2019r fauvourite diamant in a diamant mine. We luve thaim aw. But a wird mony fowk luved frae oor first play, "Secret Wrapped In Lead", is misglim. Hit means tae neglect ir forget.<\/p>\n

Is there a Scots speaker who inspires you?<\/strong>
\nIlka Scots uiser inspires us. We luve hearin oor langage spak bi young fowk frae oor local heich schuil, aulder fowk it Soup And A Story an ilkabody in atween.<\/p>\n
