Packed with humour, history and hip-hop, Wallace takes a fresh, contemporary look at one of Scotland's most famous figures.

Will the real Wallace please stand up?

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

This furiously funny and politically explosive musical explores who Wallace really was and asks how the stories we tell shape the way we see ourselves and our past.

The fearless cast go head-to-head in electrifying rap battles, blending history, humour and hip-hop to deliver an unforgettable theatrical experience. With a score incorporating rap, folk, pop, rock and razor-sharp lyrics in a distinctly Scottish voice, Wallace reinvents the story of a national icon for a new generation.

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).
