                                Blood from a Stone

                                Picture
                                Saturday 12 November
                                Presented by Right Lines Productions
                                Written and Directed by Euan Martin and Dave Smith
                                Garry, a taxi driver, finds himself a star of a new television series tracing the family trees of ordinary people. The problem is, once the genealogy is out the bottle, there’s no putting it back. Modern DNA matching techniques mean that Garry has been able to trace his family origins back to a particular pile of stones on a particular Highland hillside.

                                Garry asks the question: where are we all from? And to answer it, he takes us on a journey from the origins of the universe, to the bogs of Ach na Fluich. This is a journey not short of detours or diversions, guided by a man preoccupied by the search for his true identity.
                                "...genuinely classy and riotously funny." Robert Dawson Scott, The Times **** on Whisky Kisses.
                                "A very nicely crafted piece - poignant, powerful and full of compassion.”
                                Clare Waddington, on Watching Bluebottles.
