‘Whom shall I believe? And who shall be judge?’ Tuesday, 19 August, 1561, 9 a.m. Through the fog a ship arrives in Leith docks, and Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, steps ashore. She is eighteen and on her young shoulders rest the hopes of the Catholic establishment of Europe. The nation that receives her has just outlawed her church and its practices. Its leader is the radical cleric and protestant reformer, John Knox. Both believe themselves ordained by God. Both believe themselves beloved by their people. Both were exiled and returned home… but only one can make Scotland their own. Linda McLean's play Glory on Earth premiered at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in May 2017, in a production directed by Lyceum Artistic Director David Greig.

Four women from different moments in the twentieth century talk across time in Linda McLean's extraordinary play about faith, lust and family. Jane, a kitchen maid, the first in her family to move to the big city for work; Lizzie, passionate but unskilled and permanently dodging poverty; Sally, an early school-leaver who escapes a dangerous relationship by working her way into a profession; and Fiona, first in her family to go to university and discover a world of bewildering choices. Linda McLean's play Sex & God was first performed at Platform, Glasgow, in October 2012 in a production by Magnetic North.

A sharply perceptive, darkly funny riff on urban isolation by one of Scotland's leading playwrights. This is a big day for Sadie and Bill; their favourite person is coming to visit. They've gone to great lengths to prepare for the occasion. It's an even bigger day for Jackie; and not one she'd anticipated. Should she make the most of it? She doesn't know if she can any more; too many people depend on her. Linda McLean's play Any Given Day explores our fear of the unknown, and our guilt and responsibility towards ourselves and others. It was first performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in May 2010.

The chilling story of one woman's desperate attempts at a future that's worth living. One woman, five men. Mary is the woman in their lives.

Surrounded by rain, rivers, lochs and floods, three generations of memory and experience ebb and flow through this lyrical play. No one's day is going to plan. Petal, Missy and Hen are on their way to the island of Iona, looking for a miracle. When their train is halted by floods, they are forced to stay at a B&B by Loch Lomond and contemplate different endings to their adventure. Jim, Guy and Sonny are also at the B&B. Guy is determined to make his own adventure, but Jim and Sonny's experiences make them equally determined to shelter him and stop history repeating. But what happens when the dreams of the past start to catch up with the present – and shape the future? And how can we learn to dream them better?
