About this deal

His later victory would form a foundation that the established slavery and ownership would no longer have a basis in Scots law. National Theatre of Scotland has always held a lens up through which we can view ourselves, as a nation, as a society and never more so than in this programme. The Show For Young Men is a tender and moving new contemporary dance piece, co-created and performed by Alfie, a 10-year-old boy, and Robbie Synge, a 40-something-year-old male dancer. Highly favoured by Wedderburn and yet still enslaved, Knight balances on the knife edge between obligation and a soul-deep yearning for freedom. Knight has formed an enduring friendship with his master, which is not to the liking of Wedderburn’s young wife, who feels increasingly neglected.

He is depicted as a man who cannot escape the psychological consequences of the appalling crimes he committed in Jamaica.We’ll always treat your personal details with care and never sell them to third parties for marketing purposes. But, for Joseph, his future is tied up in the past — physical freedom is one thing, psychological freedom another. The Rocky Horror Show, Richard O'Brien's legendary rock 'n' roll musical, is back to thrill you once again at The Pavilion Theatre Glasgow in 2024!

For the National Theatre of Scotland, director Orla O’Loughlin plays it like a slow square dance, the actors taking their time on a set dominated by Alexander Nasmyth’s view of Loch Katrine, a landscape where wilderness and civilisation collide.Sumbwanyambe is simultaneously sophisticated and direct in his characterisation, not only of Knight and Wedderburn, but also of Wedderburn’s wife, Margaret, and of Annie Thompson, the servant at Ballindean who would become Knight’s lover and, ultimately, his wife.

This project will explore small, portable items linked to the First World War - otherwise referred to as ephemera - to gain a clearer understanding of the past. From the latest theatre events and live music performances to local activities and fantastic attractions, we keep you up to date daily!But Knight’s relationship with Annie, another servant in the household, brings added complications, as does his desire to be free of bondage. I’m fascinated by what was different back then, but at the same time, we’re asking, ‘What is it about these human beings that speaks to us profoundly today?
