A thrilling new musical from award-winning playwright Rob Drummond, acclaimed rapper Dave Hook, renowned director Orla O’Loughlin and powerhouse producers Raw Material.

Will the real Wallace please stand up?

Three pals. One question. Seven centuries of arguments.

Was William Wallace the hero who saved Scotland? A ruthless rebel? Or a myth that has grown over time?

Packed with humour, history and hip-hop, Wallace takes a fresh, contemporary look at one of Scotland’s most famous figures. This bold new musical explores who Wallace really was and asks how the stories we tell shape the way we see ourselves and our past.

A thrilling new musical from award-winning playwright Rob Drummond (Bullet Catch, The Broons), acclaimed rapper Dave Hook (solareye, A Giant on the Bridge), renowned director Orla O’Loughlin (What Girls Are Made Of, Locker Room Talk) and powerhouse producers Raw Material (James IV & V, The Stamping Ground).
