Val McDermid is an international bestseller who has won many awards for her work. She began her career as a professional writer more than 35 years ago with her play, Like a Happy Ending. But it proved a false start and she turned instead to prose fiction. 31 novels later (not to mention two non-fiction books, a children’s picture book, short story collections and many radio dramas) she’s returned to the stage. Queen Margaret of Scotland grew out of a true story told by a friend who died two years ago. This play is a tribute to her memory.
