'A Mackintosh Experience' Play performed by John Cairney & Alannah O'Sullivan 
Guests are promised a truly memorable and magical evening when House for an Art Lover presents ‘A Mackintosh Experience’ in association with the first city-wide festival showcasing the genius of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Sponsored by HLM Architects, Adam and Company and Blueprint Media, performances will take place on the 26th, 27th and 28th September 2006 only. 

House for an Art Lover’s magnificent Music Room will offer the spectacular backdrop for the play written and performed by acclaimed Scottish actor John Cairney.

An accomplished actor, author and entertainer, Cairney has also published a biography of the iconic architect, The Quest For Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Notably both Cairney and Mackintosh were artistic talents that earned places at the Glasgow School of Art at the age of 15. After a stint in National Service, Cairney went onto university and drama school and has since been widely admired for his homage to Burns as well as his Citizens Theatre work and appearances in TV dramas and film.

Based on the life, lecture notes and letters of renowned architect and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the performance also features Cairney’s wife, actress Alannah O’ Sullivan in the role of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.

As the avant-garde ‘Toshie’ and ‘Margaret’ they share in presenting the story of the artists lives together from the early years through to the glory days of major successes both in Glasgow and on the Continent.  This moving tale of remarkable love and loyalty sheds light on the vital relationship between the couple whose global impact on art, architecture and design remains undisputed.

This unforgettable evening is not to be missed and tickets are available from House for an Art Lover at a cost of £45 per person or £400 for a table of 10, which includes sparkling wine on arrival, an hour performance followed by a delicious three course dinner with wine.
