Caledonia / Alistair Beaton Bullet catch / Rob Drummond The artist man and the mother woman / Morna Pearson Narrative / Anthony Neilson Rantin' / by Kieran Hurley.

To paraphrase Alistair Beaton's Caledonia - the first play in this collection - 'The English have anthologies, the Spanish have anthologies, the French have anthologies - why should not Scotland have its anthology?' Scotland is entering a crucial period in its history, where its identity is being debated daily, from everyday conversation to the national and international press. At the same time, its theatre is resurgent, with key Scottish playwrights, theatres and theatre companies expanding their performance vocabularies while coming to prominence in national and international contexts. This text collects 5 Scottish plays.
