This show, premiering at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, couldn’t have captured the zeitgeist more, as headlines about yet more mass shootings and the new firearms law in New York remain fresh in our minds .
Written by leading Scottish playwright Morna Young and featuring music composed by Davey Anderson, the production from Pepperdine Scotland is a thought-provoking and gripping slice of theatre.
Featuring a vibrant young cast, the play posits wider questions about gun control, autonomy and a society which is both attracted to and repelled by such crime, using the fine folk tradition of murder ballads.
Assembly Checkpoint, August 3-17th
