A Raw Material production
WALLACE
Music & Lyrics by Dave Hook
Book by Rob Drummond
Directed by Orla O’Loughlin
Executive Producers Gillian Garrity & Margaret-Anne O’Donnell
Forget the Braveheart clichés—Wallace is the bold, boundary-pushing production dismantling Scotland's greatest myth. Following electrifying, main-stage performances in Glasgow and Edinburgh in 2026, this epic theatrical experience confronts modern Scottish identity head-on.
Deftly blending history, biting humour and a powerful, genre-spanning score, Wallace features soaring melodies and gripping anthems that will echo in your head long after the curtain falls. The music perfectly drives the story forward, stripping away centuries of folklore to explore what national identity really means today. It forces audiences to question the very fabric of our shared history, asking whether William Wallace was a genuine hero, a villain, or a carefully constructed legend.
By weaving together competing perspectives—and beautifully amplifying the forgotten women through standout vocal moments—this witty production re-examines the stories that shaped a nation. Don't miss this phenomenal cast as they tour Scotland, reinventing a national icon for a new generation.
