The James Plays – James I, James II and James III – are a trio of new history plays by award-winning writer Rona Munro. A co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland and Edinburgh International Festival.

Exhilarating and vividly imagined, The James Plays bring to life three generations of Stewart kings who ruled Scotland in the tumultuous fifteenth century.

Each play stands alone as a unique vision of a country tussling with its past and future; together they create an intricate and compelling narrative on Scottish culture and nationhood, full of playful wit and boisterous theatricality.
