A Toast Fae the Lassies

A Toast Fae the Lassies comes to the King’s Theatre on Sunday 24 January 2027. The 6pm performance lands neatly in the Burns Night window, making it a strong January cultural pick for Edinburgh.

Following a sell-out run at Pitlochry Festival Theatre, the musical play explores the life of Robert Burns through the perspectives of the three women who knew him best: his mother, his wife and his muse. That gives the show a strong Scottish identity while keeping the focus on story, character and song rather than a straightforward biographical recital.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

Capital Theatres highlights Burns’s timeless songs and poetry, so expect a production with a clear musical thread and theatrical storytelling. It feels like the sort of show that works both for Burns devotees and for people simply looking for a strong Scottish stage night in January.

Because it is a one-night Sunday performance, it should be a useful winter calendar listing rather than one that gets lost among the Christmas titles.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets are available through Capital Theatres and related official listings. Check the live page for current availability.

Location

King’s Theatre sits in Tollcross and is a familiar Edinburgh venue for drama, comedy, touring productions, and Scottish theatre.

Getting There

Buses along Lothian Road, Lauriston Place, and Home Street are generally the easiest option. The Sunday 6pm start also gives a bit more flexibility than a later evening performance.

Our Tips

• This looks like a very natural Burns Night week booking if you want something more cultural than a standard supper event.
• Because it starts at 6pm, it can work nicely with an early dinner or post-show drink.
• If you enjoy Scottish theatre with songs and period flavour, this should be a strong pick.
