El Duglas is a colourful and forthright account of the life of Sir James Douglas, often known as ‘The Black Douglas’. Music plays an integral part in the tale, which is occasionally delivered in rhyme, in the style of the old Border ballads. The storyteller is none other than Robert the Bruce.
El Duglas premiered at last year’s Duns Playfest. There followed an extensive and successful tour of the south of Scotland during which the play evolved considerably and HotTrod are delighted to be presenting El Duglas at Duns again this year.
