Liz Lochhead (2015 Event)
A hugely accomplished playwright, as well as Scotland’s current Makar (National Poet), watch as Liz Lochhead discusses her new play, Thon Man Molière, her fascination with the great French comic dramatist and his oeuvre, Greek tragedy, Schnitzler’s La Ronde – and throws in a few as-yet uncollected poems from her Makar years among old favourites from her Selected Poems, A Choosing. Filmed live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2015.
