The Long Drop

'I know who done it, the Burnside murders, and it wasn't William Watt.' Glasgow, 1957. A family destroyed. A man who insists he knows why. Through stale-aired bars and shadowed backstreets, William Watt and Peter Manuel share a night of whisky-soaked confessions and half-truths. A night that will lead to one of the most notorious trials in Scottish history. Adapted from Denise Mina's critically acclaimed crime novel, The Long Drop is a gritty and gripping descent into a world of gangsters, gossip and betrayal. Linda McLean's stage adaptation was originally commissioned by and premiered at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in 2026, directed by Dominic Hill. 'A masterpiece by the woman who may be Britain's finest living crime novelist' Daily Telegraph on Denise Mina's original novel
