The King of Scotland is one of those plays that stays with you for a long time and for me it's personal. I found the king of Scotland at the library at RWCMD in Cardiff while I was training to be an actor and now it's great to say that the Grey Hill has created a version for you to enjoy. Enjoy this episode as I sit and talk to Iain Heggie and chat about the production. And click here for more information from our website King of Scotland is an award-winning, dark comedy and a free adaptation of Gogol's A Diary of a Madman. Long-term unemployed Tommy McMillan joins a government-funded retraining scheme, "Up the Ladder". Cited as a shining example of the government's employment policies and chosen for a media profile, Tommy is taken on by the Department of Upward Mobility. The department gets more than they bargained for, however, when they discover just how far up the ladder Tommy is expecting to go. Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis, and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of politics, King of Scotland is an outrageous Fringe First-winning monologue. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barry-robertson/message
