The Holyrood Amateur Theatrical Society (HATS) is proud to present Alasdair Gray’s McGrotty and Ludmilla, a legend of the Thatcher era. Loosely based on the Aladdin story, the play follows the adventures of the uncouth and unpolished young Scot Mungo McGrotty amongst the Machiavellian civil service mandarins of 1980s Whitehall. His career is slowly going nowhere until McGrotty is seduced into a scheme to steal the mysterious and deadly Harbinger report. Will he beat the villainous Sir Arthur Shots at his own game? And can he win the heart of the ruthlessly posh Ludmilla along the way?
Roxy Art House, Edinburgh from Thursday July 22, 2010, until Saturday July 24, 2010. 7.30pm. Tickets: £7/£5 (concessions).
