Description

A new play for the Royal Shakespeare Company "World's moving. People moving. We've only to cross the sea. Same sea we're looking at. The world's waiting for us. We've only to take our place it." In 1936, 1974 and 1996, a woman shapes dramatic events in a rural community on the Scottish coast, reflecting the shifting political and social fabric of Britain in the 20th century. Victoria will received its World premiere in London at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2000. "David Greig is the most consistently interesting, prolific and artistically ambitious writer of his generation" (Scotsman)
