A collection of seven plays from Scottish writers, reflecting the
upsurge in Scottish playwriting in the late twentieth century.
Selected and introduced by Alasdair Cameron, the collection draws
on adventurous theatres such as the Edinburgh Traverse and touring
groups including Wildcat and 7:84, as well as looking further
afield. The plays included in this volume are: Writer's Cramp by
John Byrne Debut play from the author of The Slab Boys. Losing
Venice by John Clifford A parable on the consequences of military
adventuring. The Letter-Box by Ann Marie Di Mambro A short play
about a woman who's been thrown out of her flat. Saturday Night at
the Commodore by Rona Munro A woman remembers a painful teenage
betrayal. Elizabeth Gordon Quinn by Chris Hannan Modern classic
about an indomitable woman fighting to retain her dignity during
the Glasgwegian rent-strikes of 1915. Dead Dad Dog by John McKay A
short comedy about a trendy young Scotsman pursued by the ghost of
his dad. The Steamie by Tony Roper Celebrates women's work in a
Glasgow wash-house.
