Scot of the Anarchic

Pitlochry Festival Theatre

A celebration of the talents of the prolific Scottish author Iain Crichton Smith Splinters present Scot of the Anarchic – his unique vision of Highland life and culture.

On this journey of village dramas - by turns moving, hilarious and uplifting - we meet a host of fascinating characters: Sam Spaid, Mrs Napoleon, One-eyed Angus, Timoshenko, ‘Captain’ Kenneth John and, most delightfully eccentric of all, Murdo, the author’s alter ego, a kind of Scottish Don Quixote tilting at the 20th Century.

In this production, devised by the company, Crichton Smith’s themes of exile and loneliness, stoicism and final redemption, are explored and always tempered by his distinctive off-beat humour.
