with Cumbernauld Theatre presents
A new play by Elspeth Turner
Directed by Matthew Lenton
Your dignity – I’ve been trying to save
your hypocrisy – I’ve been trying to conceal
to right your wrongs
and sing the songs of managing strife
but life
is no horse-taming
woman-shaming
system-blaming picnic.
And I’m the Heidbummer today.’
Inspired by the bothy ballads of Scotland’s North East, playwright Elspeth Turner (The Idiot at the Wall, 2012) and acclaimed director Matthew Lenton (Vanishing Point) explore the fraying boundaries between past, present, and future. Weaving poetry, Doric, wild horses, and song, this courageous new play deftly wrestles with tradition, power, and the loneliness of modern life.
