The Assembly
Terence Tobin edits and annotates this bitingly satirical play written in 1692 and attributed to Dr. Archibald Pitcairne. Significant as the only known full-length drama written in Scotland between the Reformation and the eighteenth century, it is a vigorous attack on religious hypocrisy.
