The Long Drop
An electrifying true crime drama about the events that led to one of the most infamous trials in Scottish history. Premiered at the Citizens' Theatre, Glasgow, in 2026. 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. It is premiered at the Citizens' Theatre, Glasgow, in 2026.
