Our film industry should take inspiration from the Tommy Sheridan play to come up with the Scottish political thriller
One issue above all others dominated conversation in the pubs and clubs of Glasgow. It even supplanted all debate about the future status of Club 12 (formerly Rangers Fc), while Alex Salmond's spectacular bout of sartorial incontinence in Los Angeles was also soon forgotten. From Parkhead Cross in the east to Old Dumbarton Road in the west we all shook our heads in bewilderment. Just why did Scottish Opera pass up the opportunity of commissioning a work about the rise and fall of Tommy Sheridan in all of its glorious raiment? The announcement that the city's venerable King's Theatre, instead, is to stage I, Tommy in November has been greeted with astonishment by opera-goers all over the city.
The King's will assuredly do the Sheridan saga proud in its traditionally wry and couthy manner.
