Forget the Braveheart clichés — this furiously funny and politically explosive production rips into Scotland’s most famous legend, asking whether William Wallace was a hero, a rebel, or simply a myth. 

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.

Wallace is a thrilling new musical from award-winning playwright Rob Drummond, acclaimed rapper Dave Hook, renowned director Orla O’Loughlin and powerhouse producers Raw Material, that asks the question: Whose history is it anyway?
