Description

Saicrets? Aye. We hae saicrets. Leadhills, August 1803. Dorothy Wordsworth seeks shelter in a humble lodging house and discovers something no outsider was ever meant to see. Accompanying her famous brother on a bracing tour of Scotland, she's eager to collect blood-curdling myths, legends and curiosities.

The poisonous Grey Glen, where animals run mad and miners convulse, fascinates her as much as the progressive library they've travelled so far to visit. But as her landlady rants and the curfew bell tolls, Dorothy realises things beyond imagination are unburying themselves.

If she listens closely, this place will give up its dark secrets.

From Martin Travers, the award-winning writer of Scarfed for Life and The Kids are Alt Right, comes the magical and mysterious Secret Wrapped in Lead, an unmissable piece of Scots language theatre. This edition was published to coincide with the Braw Clan tour in July 2023.
