Bob Cunningham is back, and he’s not happy!

Set two years after the Scottish referendum, the play explores the No vote, Brexit, the refugee crisis, and the many other issues on the mind of one Bob Cunningham.

All the thinking puts Bob in a story-telling mood as he tries to fathom what to do about the onset of old age, and whether he can come to terms with his, and his country’s, past and present.
