Item details
Baptie is the richest merchant in Scotland in 1592, but his lass, Jenny, is too much of a handful. How Sir James Deuchart of the Denburn, a pennyless Border Lord, tames her and clears the way for her sister, Eleanor, to marry is told in music, rhyme and Scots dialogue. Baptie's Lass, based on the same central theme as Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, was awarded the Scott Salver as the best original play in 1973. It was broadcast in the same year by the B.B.C.
