Isabella also appeared with Communicado Theatre Company in

Adapted and directed by Gerry Mulgrew

from the novel by Robin Jenkins.

Following the critical acclaim of Communicado's adaptation of Jenkins's The Cone Gatherers, Fergus Lamont promises once again to bring to life the work of one of Scotland's finest writers. In a story rife with scathing Scots humour, Jenkins introduces us to Fergus, a man at odds with his own identity. Despite a childhood in the slums, he learns of his nobel connections and is determined to join the aristocracy, claiming his rightful place in Scottish society. This journey of self discovery takes Fergus to the trenches in World War I, an Edinburgh country home and a weather beaten outpost in the Outer Hebrides before returning to his birthplace. In this adaptation of Robin Jenkins's most searching exploration of the modern psyche, Communicado creates not just an unforgetable character but an image of Scotland and what it is to be Scots.
