An Edinburgh advocate undergoes an interior experience of
humiliation and terror, totally losing his way in a surreal
Scottish Highland adventure. Donald Humbie, leaving behind his
career and his wife in Edinburgh, heads north to familiar places
for a short break. Unfortunately, the familiar places have become
unfamiliar and increasingly hostile. Each setting, each character,
each event is an unsettling side-step away from normality in a
dark, surreal landscape that has Donald fleeing manically around
the country. Fearing that his wife has been abducted, he seeks out
MacNucator, a private detective, to find her. Meanwhile the
Sinister Cabaret, led by the strange and unfathomable Mr Motion,
pursues him relentlessly. John Herdman's characters inhabit a dark
universe illuminated by his profoundly laconic wit. In the Sinister
Cabaret he continues the exploration of extreme states of mind and
ambiguous interior worlds with the Gothic imagination, which has
led critics to compare him with James Hogg and R L Stevenson.
