Scotland is entering a crucial period in its history, where its identity is being debated daily, from everyday conversation to the national and international press. At the same time, its theatre is resurgent, with key Scottish playwrights, theatres and theatre companies expanding their performance vocabularies while coming to prominence in national and international contexts.  Caledonia is a tale of hubris and delusion, portraying a crucial slice of Scotland's  history and its foray into imperial colonialism told with dark humour and creative flair, by award-winning  playwright and satirist Alistair Beaton.  Bullet Catch, by Rob Drummond, is a unique theatrical experience exploring the world of magic, featuring  mind-reading, levitation, and the most notorious finale in show business.  Morna Pearson's The Artist Man and the Mother Woman is a wickedly funny, deceptively simple, surreal portrait of a spectacularly dysfunctional relationship.  Rantin', by Kieran Hurley draws on storytelling, live music and an unapologetically haphazard take  on Scottish folk tradition, in an attempt to stitch together fragmented  stories to reveal a botched patchwork of a nation.  First performed at the Royal Court in 2013, Narrative by Anthony Neilson is a theatrical exploration of the the boundaries and possibilities of storytelling.  Featuring plays from Alistair Beaton, Rob Drummond, Morna Pearson, Kieran Hurley and Anthony Neilson, this collection is edited by Dr. Trish Reid, a leading critical voice on Scottish theatre.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580368691473,"sku":"GOR006159020","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028190003473,"sku":"NIN9781472574435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52337372234001,"sku":"NLS9781472574435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1472574435.jpg?v=1750715520"},{"product_id":"theatre-and-scotland-book-trish-reid-9780230292611","title":"Theatre and Scotland","description":"In this cutting-edge text, Trish Reid offers a concise overview of the shifting roles of theatre and theatricality in Scottish culture.

It considers the underlying historical and cultural developments that have enabled the recent renaissance in Scottish theatre and the emergence of playwrights of international standing, such as David Greig, Zinnie Harris, David Harrower and Rona Munro as well as companies of significant international note.  Some prominence is given to the National Theatre of Scotland, which was established in 2004 in the aftermath of Scottish devolution, and which has become a key organization in the creating and dissemination – nationally and internationally – of Scottish theatre and performance. The book aims to capture the diversity and eclecticism of Scotland’s contemporary performance culture by examining work across a spectrum from children’s theatre, community theatre, mainstream theatre for adult audiences and live and performance art.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51065414091025,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065416089873,"sku":"NIN9783031611902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52111239840017,"sku":"NGR9783031611902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52485178097937,"sku":"NLS9783031611902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/303161190X.jpg?v=1751434606"},{"product_id":"theatre-of-anthony-neilson-book-trish-reid-9781472570291","title":"The Theatre of Anthony Neilson","description":"Anthony Neilson is one of the most exciting and challenging voices in contemporary British theatre.
