Cleas Feasgair

(The Evening Play)

In 2007, Sorbier produced a half hour play for television, adapted from a theatre piece written by renowned Lewis writer Iain Crichton Smith in the ‘60s, and starring Tony Kearney. The film, directed by Eleanor Yule, was broadcast on BBC ALBA in September 2009. It will be repeated in December 2009. "Cleas Feasgair" was the product of a year’s development between Patsi Mackenzie and the late, much missed Simon Mackenzie. Starring alongside Tony, were Chrissie Smith and John Macaskill of Edinburgh Players. The play was filmed in Studio ALBA in Stornoway; DOP was Ivan Hinchley and the final production was edited by Andrew Fegen.

Chaidh an dealbh-chluich sa a sgrìobhadh bho thùs le Iain Mac a’ Ghobhainn, air am bheil an saoghal nas eòlaiche ma dh’fhaodte mar bhàrd, ‘s mar sgrìobhaiche nobhailean is sgialachdan goirid. Sgrìobh e cuideachd deilbh-chluich mar “Tog Orm Mo Speal”, “A’ Chùirt” (air am bheil an nobhail ainmeil “Consider the Lilies” stèidhichte).

Mar a tha an tiotal ag ìnnse, chaidh “Cleas Feasgair” a riochdachadh ann an stoidhle theatar. Bha Sorbier airson coimhead ris na tha de sgrìobhadh againn saGhàidhlig mar tha, agus togail air seann phrògraman leithid “Armchair Theatre” agus “Play for Today”.

Chaidh a chlàradh ann an Stùdio ALBA ann an Steòrnabhagh, le sgioba beag aig am bheil sàr chomais dràma, ‘sa stiùireadh le Eleanor Yule, a choisinn cliù leis a fiolm “Blinded” ann an 2005. Chaidh na h-actairean agus an ath-sgrìobhadh an stiùireadh gu mòr, le Sìm MacChoinnich nach maireann.
