IT’S only a few weeks since Peter Arnott’s brilliant Tay Bridge opened at Dundee Rep, launching the Rep’s 80th anniversary season of Dundee plays with a thoughtful and spectacular meditation on the great Tay Bridge disaster of 1879. Yet now – via the autumn Play, Pie and Pint season – here comes an unexpected bonus, in the shape of a spin-off monologue for the signalman, Thomas Barclay, who waved the doomed Edinburgh-Dundee train through on to the bridge, on that fateful winter night; and who – 40 years on, in 1919 – still cannot rid himself of a lingering sense of guilt.
