BOP is turning 25 this year – to celebrate we have been in conversation with some of the key figures who have helped to make the company what it is.

Alasdair Gray is one of Scotland’s most prolific and iconic creatives. As an author he has written book, plays and poetry – his totemic novel Lanark was recently adapted for the stage by Citizens Theatre and Edinburgh International Festival. As an artist he has built up a hugely acclaimed collection of drawings and paintings; a retrospective of his work was exhibited at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in 2014. His play Working Legs was written for BOP in 1998.
