At last, the true story of Robert the Bruce and his encounter with that spider on the eve of battle with the English.

Further details

Stanley Baxter plays the role of Scotland's greatest monarch - portrayed in this sharply observed comedy as self-obsessed, selfish, demanding, rather spoilt, and with a pretty bad case of arachnophobia. Hugh Ross plays the hermit who sorts the wayward monarch out and saves the day.
