2024

Glenrothan is the story of two brothers, Donal and Sandy, played by me and Brian Cox. After there mother’s death a schism in the family caused Donal (me) to flee to America and make a new life for himself, leaving Sandy to stay with their father and run the family distillery business. Now, 35 years later, Donal returns home a broken man, and is forced to reckon with his history and family duty.

Brian Cox direct the film and it also starred Shirley Henderson, Alexandra Shipp and a slew of amazing Scottish actors including my old High Life cohort Siobhan Redmond.

Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age

I started off 2024 with a tour of the UK: two nights at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, then Manchester’s Bridgewater hall, ending in Glasgow at the Armadillo (a magical night).

Next I performed a shortened version of the show aboard an Atlantis cruise, before touring Texas (Houston, Dallas and San Antonio) then the Saunders Theatre in Cambridge MA and two shows on Broadway at New York City’s Studio 54.
