“I should be hung from the church steeple
as a warning against stone-hearted holiness.”

This script is adapted from a Scottish folk-tale recorded by William Sharp (the story is in the public domain). Morag is an indomitable young woman with a fierce father. When Morag’s sister becomes pregnant by the son of the English lord who is about to displace the family from its ancestral land, the father erupts in fury. When the sister dies by her own hand, Morag sees that the lord’s son does not escape justice. Morag’s mother and father struggle with guilt about their daughter’s death and the darkness that has shadowed their love for each other.
