"SCOTLAND ROAD—1993 winner of the Lois and Richard Rosenthal's fifth-annual New Play Prize, wraps a suspenseful package of intrigue and psychodrama…The characters and their interactions, which both deepen and unravel the mystery, reveal that few people are what they seem.
The result?
A study in self-identity, a Gothic psychological thriller, and most of all—pure entertainment."

"Hatcher has not just written a mystery.
He actually probes who we really are inside as opposed to what image we present to the world."
