Following the success of "MOTHER OF ALL THE PEOPLES" at Dundee Rep in June 2006 (where it played to packed houses and raised over £9000 for the Mary Slessor Foundation), Hame Productions have been invited to stage "FIVE POUND AND TWA BAIRNS" at the theatre from Thursday 14 to Saturday 16 June 2007.

The premiere of "SUNDAY MORNINGS ON DUNDEE LAW", a new musical play by Mike Gibb with music by Kevin Walsh, will take place at the Byre Theatre, St Andrews, the show running from Wednesday 2 to Saturday 5 May 2007.

The writers of "Mother of All the Peoples" and "Five Pound And Twa Bairns", Mike Gibb and Mairi Paton, were honoured by Dundee City Council for their work with a Civic Reception, hosted by the Lord Provost, for the writers, director John Nimmo and the cast and crew of both productions.
