| Description |
A classic psychological thriller, Dr Angelus draws on James Bridie's own background as a doctor and the true life case of Dr Edward Pritchard, the last person to be publicly hanged in Glasgow. Laced with gallows humour, Bridie's surreal and sinister play asks what price the individual will pay if they speak out, and what is at stake if they do not. |
