The Brunton in Musselburgh and Haddington
It’s time to say goodbye to those January blues and get ready for another fantastic season of programming from The Brunton in Musselburgh and Haddington.
Midweek Movies continues at Loretto Theatre in Musselburgh with Song Sung Blue (12A). Starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, it tells the story of a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act as they experience soaring success and devastating heartbreak in their musical journey together. Highly anticipated Hamnet (12A) will also be playing at Loretto Theatre this February. Based on the 2020 novel by Maggie O’Farrell, Hamnet is a powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, ‘Hamlet’.
