DUPED

Fife-based playwright John Mccann’s show DUPED at Sweet Grassmarket is a social, political and recent-historical primer on Northern Ireland, from the rise of the Rev Ian Paisley as a powerful public speaker and divisive populist leader to the violence of the Troubles and the DUP’S ongoing resistance to birth control and gay marriage rights Mccann is a clear and evocative storyteller, and the journey he takes us on is captivating – the finale is particularly powerful.
