Forget the Braveheart clichés
This bold new production rips into Scotland’s most famous legend, asking whether William Wallace was a hero, a rebel, or simply a myth. The fearless cast go head-to-head in electrifying rap battles, blending history, humour and Hook’s original beats to deliver an unforgettable theatrical experience. With a Hip Hop score incorporating rap, folk, pop, rock and razor-sharp lyrics in a distinctly Scottish voice, Wallace reinvents the story of a national icon for a new generation.
