More details:
The Great Scott: The Fair Maid Of Perth
A beautiful glover’s daughter is romantically pursued by a
warmongering blacksmith, a poetising prince, a hot-headed clansman and a
bumbling bonnet-maker in lawless 14th century Scotland .
In Walter Scott’s The Fair Maid of Perth, feeble King Robert
III is failing to stop his beloved country being torn apart by warring clans
and pillaging nobles – chaos reigns supreme and when the heroine, Catharine
Glover, suffers heartbreak and tragedy at the hands of the vengeful Earl of
March, a terrible dilemma presents itself. Should she follow the dictates of
her heart by marrying the man she loves - or should she obey her father’s wish
and shun a world of ‘hard iron and barbaric cruelties’ by betrothing herself to
Christ?
With Morven Christie as Catherine Glover, Hugh Ross as her
father, Bryan Larkin as Henry Smith, Clive Russell as King Robert, Kenneth
Cranham as The Earl of March, Forbes Masson as Oliver Proudfoot, Callum O’Neil
as Conachar, Olivia Morgan as Louise the minstrel and Richard Hansell as a
citizen. With David Tennant as Walter Scott.
