This revelatory study explores how Scottish history plays,
especially since the 1930s, raise issues of ideology, national
identity, historiography, mythology, gender and especially Scottish
language. Covering topics up to the end of World War Two, the book
addresses the work of many key figures from the last century of
Scottish theatre, including Robert McLellan and his contemporaries,
and also Hector MacMillan, Stewart Conn, John McGrath, Donald
Campbell, Bill Bryden, Sue Glover, Liz Lochhead, Jo Clifford, Peter
Arnott, David Greig, Rona Munro and others often neglected or
misunderstood. Setting these writers' achievements in the context
of their Scottish and European predecessors, Ian Brown offers fresh
insights into key aspects of Scottish theatre. As such, this
represents the first study to offer an overarching view of
historical representation on Scottish stages, exploring the nature
of 'history' and 'myth' and relating these afresh to how dramatists
use - and subvert - them. Engaging and accessible, this innovative
book will attract scholars and students interested in history,
ideology, mythology, theatre politics and explorations of national
and gender identity.
