A police interview room. Jock has been hauled in for a crime he says he didn't commit: theft from other countries. He has been spotted at the scene but was he manipulated by his bosses? Was he there out of need? Or is Jock, as he claims, the victim of imperialism himself? From one of the leading voices in the cultural movement for Scottish independence, Jock is a provocative and timely piece of theatre. Performed so far only as a work-in-progress, this is the first ever full production of Jock and the first time it has been seen by English audiences. Part of its Scotland Decides/Tha Alba a'taghadh2014 season to coincide with the Scottish Independence Referendum on Thursday 18 September 2014, multi-award-winning writer and performer Alan Bissett premieres a new work, posing the question: is Scotland the colonised or the coloniser? This will be a 40 minute performance, running in tandem with a 20 minute extract from The Pure, The Dead, and The Brilliant - a satire about the independence referendum - which will just have come fresh from its run at the Assembly Rooms as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.| 10 Sep 14 to 13 Sep 14 | Finborough Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
