Description
Book Synopsis
Twelve years ago, from the mouth of a great sacrifice, a child was born. And they called her Autumn.
Isaac returns to his family home with a chance to atone for the terrible mistake that claimed his childhood. Autumn is a little girl whose time is running out. With three sleeps left before her birthday, she can only hope for a miracle, or an unexpected act of selflessness. Her grandmother, Sophia, brings them together in a desperate attempt to save her family, at any cost. Set against the eerie backdrop of an isolated rural community and steeped in the folklore of the harvest, Grain in the Blood is a noir-ish thriller exploring a timely moral dilemma: how much are we prepared to sacrifice for the greater good? The play received its world premiere at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, on 18 October 2016, before opening at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, on 1 November 2016.Review Quotes
"Wonderfully entertaining but emotionally devastating . . . Remarkable, multi-layered and utterly gripping" --Guardian on "Bullet Catch"
"It delicately sits between truth and fiction, playing with the intangibility of magic and human connection" --Stage on "Bullet Catch" "Gripping psycho-thriller about truth and perspective from rising star Rob Drummond ... [a]breakneck, ambitious story . . . a hugely poignant statement about the very nature of secular truth and how we essentially are no more than what we tell ourselves to believe." --Independent on "Quiz Show" "Very funny . . . what Quiz Show does brilliantly . . . is give theatrical form to the nightmare of a disturbed mind, one riven by false and repressed memories . . . It leaves us uneasy and haunted." --Guardian on "Quiz Show"
