After the death of her Grandmother, an American woman travels to an abandoned island off the coast of Scotland and unearths a dark family secret…in a world where the past is anything but dead.

This critically acclaimed tale of supernatural horror is steeped in Scottish folklore and told in a tradition as ancient as its subject matter. Drama League nominee, Jody Christopherson, Time Out New York's "talent to watch not to mention a pleasure to hear", and the Brooklyn Rail's "Rock Monster", alone onstage, spins a tale of Scottish horror while creating her own sound score, lighting, haze, and musical special effects to conjure a multi-layered storytelling experience.

(Think: ancient Scottish ram god performing an incantation around a campfire, and that campfire has a looper + a lot of homemade foley instruments.)

St Kilda is inspired by Christopherson’s Nebraska roots, her Scottish heritage, and the historic 1930 evacuation of Scotland’s archipelago St Kilda.
