The Herd of Standlan

By John Buchan

Directed by A C Wilson

Ranked as one of the finest in the Scots tongue, this early short story by John Buchan appeared in Rowan Tree’s early repertoire and now finds a new interpretation under the direction of A C Wilson, who recently directed The Viewing Room at the Arts Theatre London.  Tweeddale shepherd Gideon Scott (played by Colin Moncrieff) risks his own life to save a young laird, and through the night suffers from the visitations of ghostly figures from his own past.  In the end, has his effort been worth while?  Buchan, master of suspense, has created a brilliant text for performance in this piece.
