Roots of Spain: One Act Stage Play
Set towards the end of the Spanish Civil War, this play tells the story of two members of the International Brigade, captured by Franco's forces and thrown into a cell together. From very different backgrounds, one privileged upper class English and one working class Glasgow, their initial antipathy to each other grows, in adversity, into a strong supportive friendship as they relate their life stories to each other. Meanwhile their mothers, equally different, relate their feelings to the audience: the eternal anguish of mothers who have seen their children go off to war. Came second (in its division) of the SCDA One Act Festival 2007.
