Virtual public reading of Joanna Baillie's The Family Legend announced

Original: Joanna Baillie’s 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥 (1810): A Virtual Public Reading 21 November, online. Free The Baillie Working Group

The Baillie Working Group is hosting a free virtual public reading and discussion of Joanna Baillie's 1810 play The Family Legend on 21 November. The 'Highland play' is regarded as an early example of the Scottish National Drama, and the online event invites audiences to revisit a largely forgotten work by one of Scotland's most celebrated Romantic-era dramatists.

Why now: The free online event offers a rare chance to engage with a little-staged work by a key Scottish Romantic playwright.
