About the Author
In his acting career, John Cairney has been described as a living embodiment of Robert Burns, and is perhaps best known for writing and starring in the 1968 Scottish Television adaptation 'Burns', which was broadcasted as a six week serial. Since then, Cairney has written and performed Burns in all media and at festivals around the world. Cairney's books to date include 'The Man who Played Robert Burns', 'On the Trail of Robert Burns' and 'The Luath Burns Companion'. He now lives on the south side of Glasgow with his wife, actress and scriptwriter, Alannah O'Sullivan.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. This publication compiles actor John Cairney's theatrical interpretations of the poet Robert Burns and his life. Since 1959, he has been involved with Burns as actor, director and writer. Over the years, Cairney has taken the opportunity to investigate different aspects of Burns as they relate to performance in the theatre. For the first time he has brought all these working playscripts, which have already been tested before a live audience, together in book form. Others interested in the prismatic attraction that is Scotland's Bard can now see how one Scottish actor-writer has dealt with a national icon theatrically. The scripts, written by Cairney, look at Burns' creative work, his everyday life, and his relationships, to build a full picture of the man so important to Scotland's cultural heritage. The plays are followed by an appendix which features a selection of plays written about Burns' life since his death at the age of 37. Seller Inventory # LU-9781906817725
