Much thanks. I saw them both staged at the Glasgow Citizen's Theatre in the
sixties, which is probably where the tangle in my head comes from.

Was there a version by an American playwright?

Then there's the Deacon Brodie stuff (Robert Louis Stevenson [with
who-was-it? Henley?] wrote a Deacon Brodie play, and a pretty dreadful
short-story about Burke and Hare.

Not to speak of Sawney Bean.

Somehow, I feel they all relate, but maybe this is the wrong list to raise
this.

Cheers

Robin Hamilton
