Confessions Of A Justified Sinner

Royal Lyceum director Mark Thomson revives (and radically revises) his adaptation of James Hogg’s The Private Memoirs And Confessions Of A Justified Sinner, which he first staged during his directorship of the ­Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh.

Thank goodness he has done so. This dark and brooding production captures with frightening pertinence the illogical ­conclusions of self-justifying and violent religious fundamentalism.
