The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland embraces playfulness in this quirky production of Amélie based on the 2001 French film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The piece follows shy, imaginative Parisian woman Amélie (Aida Valentine), who secretly orchestrates acts of kindness to improve the lives of others... while slowly building the courage to pursue her own love story with the eccentric Nino (William Collier).
