Rooted in the past of a dystopian future - that means a minimalist set littered with industrial remnants and a broken toilet - Scotland's greatest heroes, Wallace, Bruce and Burns are tempted by their inner demons to confront their outer Hebrides in this uncompromising study of destiny as seen through the eyes of the destined. Lust, power, treachery, betrayal.. sorry, have I just given away the ending? This epic production exposes the true price of freedom - it's not just something you can pick up in Lidl's -while extolling the value of shouting your lines and over-acting as it treads the fine line between dark, visceral theatre and disappearing up one's own arse.The Other Scottish Play - T01336761255The original manuscript for 'MacBraveheart' was discovered in a shoe box on top of an old wardrobe in Blind Harry's but an' ben and was thought by many to be the first draft of his epic poem 'The Wallace'.
