If you were to come up with a list of the Scottish playwrights least likely to write a musical about William Wallace, Rob Drummond’s name might be somewhere near the top. Musicals about icons of Scottish history have no more been his thing than plays about bagpipes and Highland cows.
Drummond is the enterprising dramatist and performer who got the audience to help invent a play every night in Mr Write; who asked someone to turn a gun on him in Bullet Catch, and staged a real-time speed-dating event in In Fidelity. He upturned the murky world of light entertainment in Quiz Show, and he trained with the Scottish Wrestling Alliance to perform Wrestling.
