Suffering from Scottishness
Kevin P. Gilday
Citizen Scotland cordially invites you to take part in a focus group that will determine the very future of our nation… for better or worse.
An immersive theatrical experience that confronts the unique absurdity of Scottish identity - from history to inventions, language to neighbourly relations, the independence referendum to the toxic mire of present political debate.
Suffering from Scottishness is a one-man show (with a little help) that turns a hilariously caustic eye on notions of nationhood and patriotism.
