Return of Scots mini-classic Restless Natives – on screen and on stage?

TWO teenage rebels don a clown and a werewolf mask, arm themselves with a circus hooter spray gun and whizz around the Southern Highlands on a little Japanese motorcycle. Like modern-day Highwaymen – think 1980s Yoppers meets two plookey Robin Hoods – Will and Ronnie (Vince Friell and Joe Mullaney) proceed to rob tourist buses, sharing the spoils with the poor and the needy – and their wee sister’s pals. Daft film premise, eh? Then how come Restless Natives has not only been screened recently on BBC iPlayer, it’s also been released for streaming by StudioCanal. And, pandemic permitting, there are plans afoot to turn the 1985 comedy into a musical theatre show, the music backdrop being the songs of iconic Scots rockers Big Country.

Restless Natives team to turn Scottish crime caper into musical

First published on Sun 28 Feb 2021 06.54 EST It is a Scottish crime caper that was loved in Scotland and largely loathed by English film critics when it was released in 1985. But Restless Natives went on to become a much-loved classic with its comic story of two teenagers who become local heroes as highwaymen – Robin Hoods who rob tourists and give money to the poor. Over the years, A-list actors such as Jack Black, Gerard Butler and James McAvoy are among those who have declared it a favourite film. Now Andy Paterson, Michael Hoffman and Ninian Dunnett – its respective producer, director and writer – are collaborating on a major stage musical version. In 1985, they were novice film-makers in their 20s when they faced the harshest response to their film.
