“HOW maddening are the Irish!”, our drama critic observed in May, 1956. “The native Scottish drama has lately been, we will not say floundering, but certainly not very steady on its feet; from the day before yesterday, from the archives of the Abbey [Theatre, Dublin], the revivalist can pick out an ordinary, unpretentious, 40-year-old comedy, and teach us all how they ought to be done.” At the very least, however, Lennox Robinson’s The Whiteheaded Boy was being staged here by a Scottish company, which was embarking a week-long run at the King’s in Glasgow, the sixth piece in a repertoire put on by the prominent theatrical manager, Henry Sherek.
