Atomic City by George Gunn

Atomic City‘Gunn is a poet of impressionistic grace. The light in his world is ‘thin like
memory’. Its commitment sears into the consciousness.’
The Herald

‘Fusing the lyricism of Dylan Thomas with the mysticism of Neil Gunn, Gunn
– the most articulate of playwrights at work in the Highlands – creates his
own kind of alchemy.’
Inverness Courier

‘Words were the stars. They danced, they shimmered, they rippled beautifully,
teasing, tormenting, they bloomed, they blossomed in little starbursts,
producing a constellation of images to lift and haunt the narrative across
the duration of this play from Scotland’s foremost polemicist playwright’

Egil Son of the Night Wolf by George Gunn

Egil Son of the Night Wolf‘Gunn’s play follows Egil’s Saga, using it to illuminate eternal themes such
as war and peace, love and hate, life and death, and the nomadic movement
of peoples, acted out by believable archetypes of good and bad behaviour.
These interweave with the historically well known Viking movements
through Europe east to Russia, and the more immediate struggle for power
in Scandinavia, Orkney, Scotland and England, producing a strange, rather
other-worldly atmosphere. Egil, Son of the Night Wolf gathers in its audience
to participate almost subconsciously in the play’s events. The result
is very special; both graceful and powerful’
The Orcadian

‘Gunn has reworked the story very freely in language which melds the riddling
vastness of Norse alliterative verse with volcanic verbal eruptions reminiscent
of Pablo Neruda. His departure into the epic is a healthy sign of Scottish
drama flexing its mind and extending its boundaries’
