Programme 6.
The House with the Green Shutters
Communicado, winner this year of the Prudential Award for Theatre, present their revolutionary adaptation of the classic novel by George Douglas Brown , currently a sell-out on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A cross between Dr Finlay and Dallas, it distils Brown's vivid account of rivalries and obsessions in a 19th-century Scottish town into a fast-moving stage play. The story charts the tragic rise and fall of the small-town tyrant, John Gourlay , whose arrogance and petty-minded greed unleash a tidal wave of resentment. In its six years the company has four times won Scotsman Fringe Firsts.
