KING OF SCOTLAND

by Iain Heggie
Tommy McMillan believes that 28 consecutive years of unemployment is a great achievement, "the work of a lifetime". Then he is finally forced on to a government training for work scheme. This turns out to be a chance to escape from the high flats, the mysterious Big Fat Jackie's bronchitis and the constant pressurising of the housing association about the chronic mould.
Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of Scottish politics, Iain Heggie's outrageous Fringe First winning comedy King of Scotland is rewritten and revived to coincide with the Scottish elections with Jonathan Watson of Only An Excuse as Tommy.
‘As a caustic parody of Scotland’s Parliament, it scores double points’. THE HERALD
