As well as being a highly popular play for National 5 English study,
'Tally's Blood' paints a wonderful picture of life in wartime Scotland,
as experienced by the Italian immigrant community. Exploring the themes
of racism, love and family loyalties, it does so with humour and warmth
through the eyes of an Italian family with close blood ties. When World
War Two breaks out, friendships outwith the family are sorely tested by
the difficulties of wartime prejudice.
