The Scotsman ★★★★
"A truly scary and compelling piece of theatre"
- Joyce McMillan
Faking It
By Owen Whitelaw
During a BBC Radio 3 live broadcast, a private detective stuns the audience by accusing a best-selling author of murder. The author denies the accusation and sets out to prove her innocence to the audience.
Set in a small ex-mining village in East Lothian, Thole examines how violence has come to be inherited by three generations of men. As Chris and his father, Jim, navigate their first fragile meeting in eight years, they are forced to contend with the ever increasing madness of Jim's father, Tam, who is battling his own guilt for a life lived in rage.
