What's the story?
Hunky Dory is a comedy set in Scotland, written and performed by Macdonald Watson.
An interesting programme for its time, with its range of production photographs and newspaper quotes:
“Hunky Dory contains much racy humour and unusually sincere writing” The Morning Post
“An amusing play with a deliciously Scottish atmosphere” The Daily Mirror
Hunky Dory’s Scottishness is clearly a key message for its publicity, with revered Scottish singer and comedian Sir Harry ‘Roamin’ in the Gloamin’ Lauder praising the play:
“Hunky Dory is breezy and clean and true to Scottish life. I have seen it seven times.”
