The Twa Roberts – and a Shaun
Robert Tannahill and Robert Burns. Two poets – two very different men. One was shy and retiring – the other clearly wasn’t! But what would it be like to date them? Would they have a Tinder profile? Which would be the best bet for a long-term future?
Award-winning singer/songwriters Pauline Vallance and Penni Mclaren Walker explore these issues through song, drama and dodgy chat-up lines.
