MacBraveheart: The Other Scottish Play

Synopsis:
Rooted in the past of a dystopian pre-independence 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. 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 - whilst treading the fine line between dark, visceral theatre and disappearing up one's own arse.
