Fergus Lamont
Following the critical acclaim of Communicado’s adaptation of Jenkins’s The Cone Gatherers, Fergus Lamont promises once again to bring to life the work of one of Scotland’s finest writers. In a story rife with scathing Scots humour Jenkins introduces us to Fergus, a man at odds with his own identity. Despite a childhood in the slums, he learns of his noble connections and is determined to join the aristocracy and claim his rightful place in Scottish society. This journey of self discovery takes Fergus to the trenches in World War I, an Edinburgh country home and a weather beaten outpost in the Outer Hebrides before returning to his birthplace. In this adaptation of Robin Jenkins’s most searching exploration of the modern psyche, Communicado creates not just an unforgettable character, but an image of Scotland, and what it is to be Scots.
