The List

The Long Drop

The Long Drop
Glasgow, 1957. A family destroyed. A man who insists he knows why. Between whisky-soaked confessions and half-truths swirling in cigarette smoke, William Watt and Peter Manuel share a night that will change everything. Winding through stale-aired bars, shadowed backstreets and tangled lies - leading to one of the most infamous trials in Scottish history. From one of Scotland’s most acclaimed crime writers, Denise Mina, and adapted by award-winning playwright Linda McLean, The Long Drop is an electrifying new play - equal parts psychological thriller and pitch-black comedy. Gritty and gripping, it plunges us into a world of gangsters, gossip, and half-truths told over one too many drinks. Directed by Dominic Hill this is where truth slips through your fingers, the stakes are razor-sharp, and the laughs cut just as deep. The Long Drop is a darkly stylish descent into the heart of a city - and the haunted minds of the men who shape it. Glasgow, 1957. A family destroyed. A man who insists he knows why.
