Arís, Atlanta’s home for Celtic culture, is back on stage with a Scottish play.

No, not the Scottish play (the one by Shakespeare that thespians dare not speak by name), but a contemporary dark comedy by Iain Crichton Smith.

“LazyBed” is a study in tragedy, comedy, philosophy and the absurd, all anchored by the bedridden main character Murdo.
