Dogstar presents Jacobite Country

A new comedy by Henry Adam
Directed by Matthew Zajac

Haggis McSporran left the Highlands to become the king of comedy.  Now he’s coming home for an interview on Jacobite Radio with his old pal Craitur Face Macleod, a proper celebrity interview with a proper celebrity and a chance to catch up with the man he first met all those years ago, when Uncle Angus was invading England, when together they escaped Craig Dunain mental hospital, met the Loch Ness Monster and tried to cure cancer with Granny and her Shetland ponies. Should be a good crack. Craitur Face can’t wait.

Wick-born Henry Adam is one of Scotland’s outstanding playwrights. His successes include the international hit comedy The People Next Door and Dogstar’s 2007 production ‘e Polish Quine. The show will be directed by Matthew Zajac, writer and performer of Dogstar’s multi-award-winning sell-out show The Tailor of Inverness.
