Paul Bright’s Confessions of a Justified Sinner

Between 1987 and 1989, Scottish director Paul Bright created a series of radical performances based on James Hogg's The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. In 2010 the artists at Untitled Projects began to immerse themselves in the traces of this influential production in an attempt to understand how it all came together and ultimately fell apart.

Untitled Projects makes ambitious and adventurous theatre on a large scale. They embrace taking risks, and in doing so surprise and challenge the audience. They continually re-imagine what theatre can be: blending landscape, biography, novel, video, lecture, documentary, installation, interview, fashion, music, science and playwriting. The archive of their work is now housed at the Scottish Theatre Archive, Special Collections, Glasgow University Library.
