SEA CHANGE (2021)

A Scottish fantasy story, inspired by the folklore of her western coast and islands, with just a wee twist in the tale…

“BRILLIANT!! Absolutely bewitching. What a writer you are…”  (Peggy Mack, Broadcaster)

Sea Change came about when two friends asked me to write a love story “with a happy ending” – in contrast, perhaps to the darker themes of the history plays.  It is the first of my island plays, inspired by the wild beauty of Arran, which is sometimes called Scotland in miniature. It’s very easy to imagine that Arran’s rocky shores are closely guarding their many mysteries and strange legends. 

A happy ending? Judge for yourself…

'Sea Change' was recorded and produced at the Hospital Broadcasting Service in Glasgow. It was first broadcast by HBS as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations late in 2020.
