Pitlochry Festival Theatre hosts premiere of ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’

The Pitlochry Festival Theatre is hosting the premiere of Martin Sherman’s play, ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’, running until October 11, 2026. The production features Simon Russell Beale as the flamboyant pianist Liberace and Fra Fee as a writer commissioned to document the entertainer's life.

The narrative explores the tension between the writer and the subject, specifically focusing on Liberace’s decision to deny his homosexuality during a high-profile libel trial against The Daily Mirror. While the production has been praised for its extravagant costume design and Beale’s performance, reviews note a struggle to balance its meta-theatrical elements with a coherent narrative thread.
