Politics at the Parliament

Of a kind.

A performance, in the debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood, of scenes and songs from Joe Corrie's play "In Time of Strife". Soon to tour Scotland from Stranraer to Aberdeen.

Joe Corrie - Fife miner, poet, playwrite in the 1920s-30s - rarely performed.

"I am the hewer of coal
I am the tiller of soil
I am the serf of the seas
Born to bear and to toil"

From 'I am the Common Man'

Which, unfortunately, reminds me of Edinburgh City Council's 'Man on Plinth' outside their offices.
