A Play, A Pie and A Pint - Whaur's Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?

A Play, A Pie and A Pint – Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?

Produced by A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór, co-presented with Traverse Theatre and Aberdeen Peforming Arts

Written and directed by Brian Logan

A freewheeling historical fantasia about one of the most contested plays in Scottish history.

1756. The Scottish Enlightenment. Despite severe restrictions on all theatre, the minister John Home staged his play Douglas to much outrage within the Church of Scotland.

What followed was a church stramash and a fierce debate amongst leading clergymen and philosophers. Was this Scotland’s answer to Shakespeare? Or was Home simply a blasphemous hack?

Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo? is a new Scots comedy by Brian Logan that playfully re-imagines the events around this infamous staging, and asks whether any decent person should be seen dead in the theatre!
