Summary

Imagine you're scared for your adult sibling. They're on the brink and you want to keep them safe. You think they're mentally ill but they think they're just leftwing.
To make the right choices together you'll need to know the right things. The big question: how do you know if you know the right things?
Where Sat The Lovers is about codes, hallucinations, Isaac Newton, war crimes, seeing meaning where there's none and vice versa. It's about facing an overwhelming world and trying to make sense of it all.
Created by Carys D. Coburn with MALAPROP Theatre, it was first staged at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, as part of the 2021 Dublin Fringe Festival, directed by Claire O'Reilly.
Available since: 10/26/2023.
Print length: 50 pages.

Travelling with a back-pack, heavy with items he must deal with, Dusty must choose between the things that drag him down and the things that bring him life. What will he choose? What would you choose?

    Hugh McMillan's first collection in Scots, Whit if? poses the questions that you never thought to ask about Scottish history like 'Whit if Alexander haed Twitter?', 'Whit if John Knox haed fawen in luve wi Mary Queen o Scots?' and 'Whit if Jacques Brel haed jynt the Corries?'

As both poet and long-time student of Scotland's strange and undervalued history, McMillan is the ideal guide to all the micht-hiv-bins of Scottish history, as well as all that wis. Humour is guaranteed, but that doesn't mean he won't be digging up many an educational gem along the way!

From mountain high to valley floor from sea cliffs to sandy shore through wood and field, across rivers, brooks and streams through sunlight, raging storms and the cloak of night these shores have some of the most beautiful natural treasures to be found anywhere.
