The James Plays by Rona Munro

Rona Munro's vividly imagined historical cycle brings to life three generations of Stewart kings who ruled Scotland in the tumultuous fifteenth century.

'A towering achievement.. a modern classic'

* Evening Standard *

'An astonishing dramatic achievement... Munro's script is the star... a feast of theatrical might and blistering emotion'

* Telegraph *

'Full of topical resonance... These are unequivocally plays for today... Munro skilfully interweaves the personal and the political'

* Guardian *

'Wit, punch and accessibility... this is theatre that mixes the personal with the political to fabulous effect. ... The scope is Shakespearean, yet Munro applies a contemporary sensibility to her medieval characters, who talk and swear in modern tongue'

* The Times *

'Rona Munro's three plays can stand confidently alone but, taken together, have a scale and reach that is thrilling and satisfying in equal measures'

* Independent *

Rona Munro is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter. Her screenplays include the Ken Loach film Ladybird.
