Following the success of its 2012 season of new writing productions from breakthrough Scottish writers, Edinburgh theatre company Siege Perilous kicks off 2013 with a new piece of work about a topic currently dominating news headlines.
‘Too Long The Heart’ by Ayrshire-based David Hutchison is set in the context of Northern Ireland and explores the burden of history. The company also continues its partnership with boutique hotel Malmaison, Edinburgh where the show will be performed 21-26 February. In ‘Too Long The Heart’, a man’s fishing holiday in County Cork is shattered when he is abducted and taken hostage. But there is confusion – do they have the right man? What past wrong is fuelling his captors’ thirst for revenge? Can they ‘Forgive and forget’?
A vivid, moving contemporary drama which will be directed by Andy Corelli.
