The Pitiless Storm (2014) and Cause of Thunder (2017). After tomorrow night's show at East Kilbride Arts Centre (October 8), the star will perform again as everyman Bob Cunninghame at

That's followed by an appearance at Motherwell Theatre on Friday, October 14, and then at Biggar Corn Exchange on Tuesday, October 18. Viewers are in for a fascinating night of theatre

as the Scottish actor's character Bob continues his journey. In this instalment, Bob’s in hospital. A long dark night of the soul, an understaffed ward, a top-floor single room. The

Death Star. He’s broken – like the world around him. And tomorrow morning? A painful, risky procedure; Bob, convinced he won’t survive. This doesn’t stop him from ranting about injustice and

the state of the world - laughing at everything, including himself. No way Bob’s going gently into that good night, he’ll burn and rave at close of day, raging against the dying of the

light. READ MORE: Uddingston father and son complete half marathon in memory of tragic teen Time’s Plague premiered at this year’s Fringe, and has already begun embarking on an extensive

Scottish tour which started in September through to October – 37 dates in total. Returning to the stage, Hayman said: ‘It’s always a joy to be back on stage in Scotland and an even greater

pleasure to be back playing Bob Cunninghame. "Chris Dolan is a fantastic writer and the depth that he gives to Bob’s character makes it a great vehicle for humour, anger, and just about

every other human emotion. "We’re taking the tour all over Scotland - theatres, community halls, miners’ welfares, the islands, north, south, east, and west. It’s what theatre should

be about.’ READ MORE: Thug threatened disabled Hamilton woman with a knife as she sat in her car Writer Chris Dolan added: ‘‘It’s the culmination of a dramatic trilogy. Pitiless Storm, the

political; Thunder, the personal. "Plague, a matter of life and death…. Bob’s deepest, spiritual journey. Bob Cunninghame returns to tackle the West Highland Way, via Palestine and the

operating table. If the scalpel doesn’t do for him, Ben Nevis might. Has Bob – trade unionist, activist, Everyman – reached the end of the road? He calls on Elvis, the Alexander Brothers,

and a host of remarkable bed-fellows to get him through his biggest challenge yet!’ The tour is sponsored by UNITE the Union. The play has already received rave reviews and locals can still

purchase tickets for upcoming shows through eventbrite. Details on Monday's show in Blantyre can be found here. _DON'T MISS THE LATEST HEADLINES FROM AROUND LANARKSHIRE. SIGN UP TO
