Bruce, Alasdair Macrae, Stephen Docherty Alex and Mary are 'homers'. Boarded out from children's homes in Glasgow to the Isle of Lewis in 1967 without a word of where they were going. Happened to a lot of poor kids from Glasgow, taken in by new families. They try and fit in but they're out of place at home, at church and at school. They only have each other to turn to. Alex is driven out and returns to Glasgow to start work as a butcher's apprentice. Pig, his new boss, is determined to make all the apprentice's lives as difficult as possible, but he pushes one too far - and - Pig gets the chop. When Alex returns to the island things are even more difficult than when he left... Poignant, touching and hilariously funny, Homers is the first full-length play by Lewis writer Iain Finlay MacLeod who wrote Alexander Salamander (the story of a Teenage Pyromaniac), as part of the Traverse's Highland Shorts show in 1999. Homers marks the 10th anniversary of the Traverse annual Highland tour which has seen plays like Among Broken Hearts, Heritage, Lazybed and Knives in Hens performed throughout the country.
