A wildly imaginative, hilariously provocative and deeply moving
play from one of Scotland's most important playwrights. The
philosopher David Hume and the father of modern economics, Adam
Smith, wake up in Edinburgh in the early twenty-first century. To
their bewilderment, joy and horror, it is a world where all the
knowledge they ever dreamt of is at everyone's fingertips and the
utopia of a free-market economy is a reality. But at what cost to
the planet and to humanity? With their fellow traveller, Eve, a
Scottish everywoman, Hume and Smith embark on an extraordinary
journey of enlightenment - from the concrete New Towns of
Scotland's central belt, to Silicon Glen, ecstasy and the gay clubs
of Edinburgh. Jo Clifford's play The Tree of Knowledge was first
performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 2011.
