After being closed for 7 years of renovation, The Citizens Theatre had its grand reopening on Friday, September 12, with a performance of ‘Small Acts of Love’, a new play by Frances Poet, music and lyrics by Ricky Ross and directed by Dominic Hill. …

“The project has been painstakingly researched and contains representations of real people built from an extensive series of interviews with families and individuals who were directly affected by the Lockerbie bombing, both in Scotland and the USA.”

“ The story of Pan Am Flight 103 is one of sudden, devastating loss. On December 21, 1988, a terrorist bomb destroyed the aircraft over Lockerbie, Scotland, ending 270 lives and irrevocably changing countless more. For our founder, Helen Engelhardt, this was not a distant headline; it was the day she lost her husband, Tony Hawkins. …”

The story of Lockerbie continues to resonate. We are excited to follow the development of Small Acts of Love, a new musical play by Frances Poet and Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross. It will premiere at the newly reopened Citizens Theatre in Glasgow next year. The play shines a light on the incredible compassion of the Lockerbie community, whose members cared for the victims' belongings, performing "small acts of love" that built a bridge of healing across the Atlantic.

We encourage you to explore these new resources as we continue to document and remember the enduring legacy of Pan Am Flight 103.
