I Am Thomas - a brutal comedy with songs

A co-production between Told by an Idiot, the National Theatre of Scotland, Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in association with Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse

A rich vein of black humour is exploded in this account of the last person in Britain to be executed for blasphemy. Using Told by an Idiot’s internationally celebrated theatrical invention, we glimpse into Edinburgh’s dark past to reveal this true story with universal resonance. A riotous and unsettling drama which swings between 1696 and the present day, I Am Thomas is performed with an original live score.
