The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil

Directed by John Mackenzie

Written by John McGrath, Ann Scott

In their songs, comedy and exuberant music, a travelling theatre company give a fiercely polemic account of Scottish history, from the aftermath of Culloden to the oil boom. Their production before a live audience is intercut with filmed reconstructions of the Highland Clearances and the Victorian obsession with hunting stags.
