A journey through space and time, fuelled by love, fear and afro-futurism.
The true story of four miners who travelled from the streets of Prestonpans to the valleys of Spain. They gave up everything that was familiar: for a people they had never met; and for a cause they believed was right. 549, a play with songs and storytelling, is a timely insight into one of Scotland’s almost forgotten conflicts.
