The James Plays: James I, II and III

Munro's vividly imagined trilogy brings to life three generations of Stewart kings who ruled Scotland in the tumultuous fifteenth century. Each play stands alone as a unique vision of a country tussling with its past and future; viewed together the trilogy creates a complex and compelling narrative of Scottish culture and nationhood.

Rona Munro: RONA MUNRO is among the most prolific and diverse of contemporary writers. The Scottish author’s plays include Bold Girls, Iron (winner of the John Whiting Award) and Strawberries in January (translated from the play by Evelyne de la Chenelière). Her latest plays, Little Eagles and Pandas, have just premiered almost imultaneously in London and Edinburgh respectively. She also writes widely for radio, television and film; her screenplay for Jim Loach’s film, Oranges and Sunshine, was recently acclaimed and the film is still on nationwide release.
