A Theatre Maker Reimagines the Tattoo | Glasgow News

Alan Lane, a theatre-maker with roots in community projects, is reimagining the Edinburgh Military Tattoo—not as a military spectacle, but as a global conversation starter. With over 200,000 attendees and charity fundraising at its core, this year’s show blends American tap-dancing cowgirls with Qatar’s police band to spotlight shared humanity amid rising global tensions. Lane, who sees parallels between his work and military values, champions cultural exchange over militarism, keeping the Tattoo alive and relevant through bold, modern twists—from Motown to hip-hop. His vision? A stage for dialogue, connection, and unity in an increasingly divided world. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
