A new stage to explore Scot-free identity
Harold and Maude, Hal Ashby's 1971 dark comedy (below) about the relationship between a death-obsessed teenage boy and a 79-year-old woman who survived the Nazi death camps and lives life with an outrageous joie de vivre, has become a cult Hollywood classic. Its screenwriter, Colin Higgins, also wrote the more obscure stage version, which has its UK debut next week at Glasgay!, Glasgow's festival of gay arts.
