As he waits for the arrival of his latest gentleman caller, he finds a small memento that takes him back to his life in Scotland.Spain tells the story of an ex-pat Scot, thrown into an existentialist crisis and forced to begin a long journey home.James Ley is a young, Edinburgh based writer whose 2009 hit play Up was described as “gripping”."Mark Kydd... brings real theatrical energy to the stage" The Scotsman on Glasgay! 2010.
