Episode five of A History Of Scottish Drama In Six Plays focuses on Stephen Greenhorn's 1997 play Passing Places.
What happened when Glasgow became European City of Culture in 1990? What influence did that have on Scottish theatre? How did a new generation of playwrights grapple with Scotland's post-industrial identity? What happened when they went on strike to get paid properly?
All this and more is explored by Greenhorn himself, fellow playwright Nicola McCartney, and critics Mark Fisher and Joyce McMillan.

Written drama has existed in Scotland since the sixteenth century. This is its story.
A History Of Scottish Drama In Six Plays is a new podcast from journalist and critic Fergus Morgan, charting the story of Scottish drama from the sixteenth century to today.
Over six episodes - plus a panel discussion recording - the podcast travels from pre-Reformation Scotland to the present day, alighting on seminal plays along the way – including A Satire Of The Three Estates, Men Should Weep, Losing Venice, Passing Places, and Black Watch – and discussing their significance in the extraordinary, ongoing evolution of Scottish drama.
Featuring insights and memories from playwrights, performers, academics, critics and others, the podcast journeys from the turbulent court of King James V in the 1540s, to the bustling Traverse Theatre in the 1980s, to the uncertain industry of 2024.
A History Of Scottish Drama In Six Plays is written and produced by Fergus Morgan, with the support of the Scottish Society of Playwrights as part of their SSP@50 Fellowships, which are supported by Creative Scotland and Bespoken Media. It is made in association with the Traverse Theatre. Episodes 2, 3 and 6 are also supported by the National Theatre of Scotland.
