Play by Bill Bryden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willie Rough is a play by Scottish writer and director Bill Bryden, which is often regarded as a landmark of Scottish drama.[1][2]
Originally a stage play produced by the Royal Lyceum Theatre Company in Edinburgh in 1972,[3] a TV version was shown in 1976 as Play for Today, with a cast including Fulton Mackay and Roddy McMillan.[4][5]
It is set in a Greenock shipyard around the outbreak of the First World War, and put forward a revolutionary socialist view of events of the time.[6][7] John Maclean, a Socialist leader who opposed the war, is mentioned several times but never appears in person.
