2. National Theatre of Scotland: "The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart"

The very definition of a fun-filled theatrical experience, the National Theatre of Scotland's rollicking production The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart was a universally acclaimed hit at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival. In its pub-like setting-complete with bar service-you'll delight in the antics of actor/musicians who circulate through the crowd while spinning a hilarious tale set in modern-day Scotland.

On the morning of the winter solstice, Prudencia Hart, a prim, uptight academic, sets off to attend a conference in a small town in Scotland. The town is Kelso in the Scottish Borders, the area along the English-Scottish border known for its romantic history (it's the land of Sir Walter Scott) and its traditional Border ballads. The snow begins to fall, and little does she know who or what awaits her. Prudencia's dream-like journey of self-discovery unfolds among and around the audience, delivered in a riotous romp of devilish encounters, wild karaoke, and rhyming couplets inspired by those Border ballads.

So pull up a chair and wet your whistle for an evening of anarchic theater, live music, and supernatural goings-on in a brash comedy that pulls you into a captivating web of plot twists. The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart is a laugh-out-loud show you'll long remember.
