I Don't Believe You by Robert Forrest

Available for 61 days

On the 17th May, 1966 Bob Dylan played Manchester Free Trade Hall - one of the most famous (or infamous) concerts in rock history. Anger and loathing surrounded Dylan on that 1966 tour. Many felt betrayed because he was leaving the folk tradition behind by turning electric. One heckler shouted “Judas”. Robert Forrest’s play focuses on events just outside the concert hall, as two young Dylan fans meet by chance, each wrestling with a more personal sense of betrayal. Catriona is Irish, charming and a spinner of yarns. Davey, a shipyard apprentice from Glasgow, finds her fascinating, but he believes dishonesty is all around him: is Catriona just another liar? But, then, what is Davey doing with a wad of stolen bank notes? Catriona ..... Lucianne McEvoy Davey ..... Martin Quinn Directed at BBC Scotland by Bruce Young. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2021.
