Item details

One of Robert Kemp's most popular comedies, " The Scientific Singers'' is based on events that took place in Old Aberdeen in 1753. The action centres on a furious controversy over the correct singing of the old Scots psalms between two factions in the university. Both academic factions have their own choirs -- the Scientific Singers and the Solemn Singers, and the cast of colourful characters includes a Trooper of the Irish Dragoons and a Bijan (first year student) with a gentle line in blackmail.
