IF you’ve seen the first two instalments of Chris Dolan’s Bob Cunninghame trilogy – solo dramas written for the great Scottish actor David Hayman – you’ll know the protagonist. A former industrial shop steward, now retired, Bob is a socialist with the gift of the gab.
Indeed, in Time’s Plague (the final play of the series) we find him as loquacious as ever, despite the fact that he is in a hospital bed awaiting surgery. Bob is convinced that he won’t survive the operation, which will be conducted in the “Death Star”, as he, like most of his fellow Glaswegians, calls the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
