Summer, 1939. With the world on the brink of war, two young naturalists leave Cambridge and venture to a remote Scottish island to conduct a study for the Ministry of Defence. Arriving on the island with its sole inhabitants, the elderly owner and his 19-year-old niece, the scientists soon discover they have been duped and things are not what they seem. Very soon they are drawn into a primaeval world of emotional discovery, sexual passion and murder in a race against time to save the island.
Based on true events, David Greig’s poetic, intense and gripping Outlying Islands is a tale of breath-taking beauty and poignancy packed with moments of pure comedy and mystery.

Looking For Free Things To Do in Dublin?
Dublin is amazing with lots to offer. But it can be expensive. So why not check out Rebel Dublin’s list of free things to do in Dublin.
Dublin has some amazing parks. Strategically placed on a bench in St Stephen’s Green you can watch the world go by as the park gives way to office workers enjoying a sandwich, schoolkids bunking off class and weary shoppers resting their tired feet. Sip a coffee and feed the seagulls (they’ve displaced the ducks unfortunately).
The railings of Merrion Square host artists displaying their wares at weekends. Though quieter, the Georgian surrounds are a delight and is a perfect setting for Oscar Wilde fans to pay their respects. Situated in the heart of Dublin and featuring luscious gardens without the hustle and bustle of Stephen’s Green, Merrion Square is a lovely place to take in some of Dublin’s Georgian architecture while sitting on a quiet lawn.
The Iveagh Gardens, no longer Dublin’s best kept secret, just off Harcourt Street is an oasis for nearby office workers and those in the know.
The Dubhlinn Gardens with it’s Celtic design landscaping can be found in front of the Chester Beatty library at the back of Dublin castle.
