God Bless Liz Lochhead

Synopsis:
25 years ago there was a legendary Highlands and Islands tour of Liz Lochhead's adaptation of Tartuffe. the tour became legend as the broken marriages, broken noses and broken dreams of the actors provided more Drama offstage than on. In the present day, three survivors of the tour take the play on again. Older but definitely not wiser can they navigate the secrets of their past to make the dress rehearsal? Will Liz Lochhead allow them to even put it on? And at their age can they remember any of the bloody lines?
