After a sell-out performance in London, Orkney playwright Áine King is bringing LOST PROPERTY HOTEL to Orkney on June 14th.

This comedy play linking Orkney, London, Glasgow, Australia and Canada is packed full of characters who will be familiar to anyone who has ever worked in hospitality or tourism.

Written and performed by Áine King, with live music by Karen Tweed and Antony Hodgson.

What links three random objects in a Lost Property box, the Italian Chapel in Orkney, The Blitz in WWII…and three tourists visiting Scotland today?

Archie from Canada is looking for his ancestry but keeps losing the biscuit tin holding his grandfather’s ashes. Lynda from Sydney is looking for romance but lost in ‘Outlander’ fantasies. Londoner Davy is looking for a story to write on his granny’s vintage typewriter but has lost faith in himself as a writer. Deema from Gaza has lost everything.

Only the audience know that these people and objects are all connected. Is fate about to reunite them all?

A Funny, heartwarming true story that travels thousands of miles and a hundred years, celebrating extraordinary ordinary people whose stories were lost in bigger events.

Áine’s climate-crisis-comedy ‘Burning Bright’ won Scotland’s 2022 David MacLennan Award and ‘Plan B’ was winner of The Stromness Plays 2024.
