    Very sad to hear of the death of Hector Macmillan, author of The Sash. His work in the 70’s was foundational to the wave of Scottish playwriting in the years after. He adapted Moliere into Scots for The Lyceum. A lovely man, a nurturer of colleagues. He will be much missed.

    He will absolutely love this. An amusing, odd, but harmless character who definitely isn't a mendacious fanatic.

    It’s come to our readers attention that has been masquerading as Beano character Walter Brown. A clear breach of our copyright.

    We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of talented young Scottish director Amanda Gaughan. She was a fresh, lively new voice on the Scottish stage, an energising colleague, a good friend & much loved by The Lyceum team. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones.
