Chris Dolan鈥檚 play explores the early days of the 成人快手 Rule movement in Scotland through the eyes of three of the 20th century鈥檚 most compelling political figures 鈥� Keir Hardie, James Connolly and R.B. Cunninghame Graham. On May 12, 1916, Cunninghame Graham smokes a cigarette - as he鈥檚 done every year for a decade - at his wife鈥檚 grave. He has just heard the news of Connolly鈥檚 imminent execution by the British Government for his role in the Easter Rising in Dublin. Graham casts his mind back to a meeting with Hardie and Connolly almost 30 years earlier when the Scottish Labour Party was first stirring into life.
