I love reading The Crush Bar every week but really treasuring this one which asks such good questions of the extraordinary @DavidMJTDoyle who does 19000 things but always starts from the play.

"Jermyn Street Theatre was set up as a place where artists could afford to make work and audiences could afford to see it, and that is still what we are trying to do."

John McGrath’s legendary The Cheviot, The Stag and the Black, Black Oil is the focus of this week’s episode of @FergusMorgan’s A History of Scottish Drama in Six Plays
Featuring clips from our 2018 production directed by Joe Douglas & chat from OG cast member Bill Paterson👇
ALT A man dressed in a cowboy hat and fringed jacket plays the violin under stage lights. His expression is joyful, and two other performers in western attire stand in the background.
ALT A black and white photo of a man sitting down, with his left arm propped up as he looks off to his right.
ALT Two performers on stage shake hands in an exaggerated manner. The person on the left wears a striped suit, bowler hat, and fake moustache, while the other holds a flask and wears a tweed jacket and flat cap.
ALT A black and white photo of a group of actors stand in the middle of the street in front of the Round Church in Bowmore. At the front of the group, a child is holding a flag that reads ‘7:84’.
