Review: Through the Shortbread Tin Explores Scottish Myth ★★★★ A poetic journey through Scotland’s stories and silences Martin O’Connor’s Through the Shortbread Tin is a poet/theatre maker’s highly personal attempt to make peace with the national myth – and his own. With a mix of wry humour and a generous lacing of rhythmic speech, he introduces Scotland’s legend as fronted by Landseer’s ‘Monarch of the Glen’, only to dismantle its cultural origins, before asking whether it really matters if the stories we tell ourselves are the gospel truth.

🏴 “Never underestimate the power of poets bearing myths.”
O’Connor’s Through the Shortbread Tin mixes lyrical monologue, Gaelic song and sly humour to explore Scotland’s self-image.
