  • Tally's Blood
    ASSOCIATION FOR SCOTTISH LITERARY STUDIES TEACHING NOTES: 2018 ASLS Tally’s Blood by Ann Marie Di Mambro Teaching notes and discussion questions for National 5 English Gillian Sargent As one of three dramas set by SQA for the Critical Reading component of the National 5 English exam, Ann Marie Di Mambro’s Tally’s Blood (first staged in 1989) is enjoying renewed popularity within Scottish schools. Di Mambro is a Scottish writer (b. 1950) best known for her dramatic works for the stage and television. Di Mambro was born in Glasgow to Italian parents. As the playwright has suggested, Tally’s Blood is a play which contains biographical resonance for her: The Italian immigrant experience is one I know well from my own background […] I was brought up with an awareness of my Italian identity and with stories of what happened to Italians in Scotland during the war. I frequently resented my Italian upbringing and the ways it stopped me fitting in with my peers […]. (Introduction, Tally’s Blood, Hodder Gibson (2016), p. v.) Many of Di Mambro’s family experiences as an Italian–Scot (e.g. her grandparents owned The Cosy Corner café in Hamilton) no doubt informed the rich depiction of the Pedreschi family and the evocation of setting. The playwright’s other works for the stage include: Brothers of Thunder (first staged 1994), a thematically complex piece exploring the difficult relationship between an HIV-positive man and the Catholic church; The Letterbox (first staged 1989), a play which takes as its subject a woman who has been domestically abused by her husband and who has been forced out of the family home; and Ae Fond Kiss (first staged 2004, and not to be confused with the film of the same name and year), a compassionate tale of the unlikely budding friendship between the central protagonist Zed, and Lola – a prostitute with whom Zed has been gifted an hour to spend for his birthday.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Creative Industries Policy and Practice: A Study of BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen Lynne Alison Hibberd BA (Hons), MPhil Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow Faculty of Arts and Humanities Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre Film and Television Studies December 2008 © Lynne Alison Hibberd 2008 2 Abstract This thesis examines creative industries policy in film and television in Scotland. It explores the impact that different approaches to creative industries policy have on creative practice in two media industries, BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen, and reflects on how each of these bodies articulates its role as a „national‟ institution. BBC Scotland is the Scottish branch of the UK‟s largest public service broadcaster, while Scottish Screen exists on a far smaller scale, to serve the screen industries in Scotland. The thesis examines the role of BBC Scotland in sustaining the creative economy and contributing to the cultural life of Scotland. The study of Scottish Screen examines a key early aim of the agency, that of establishing a national film studio. The work investigates the connections between UK and Scottish levels of creative industries policy in light of the debates over the future of public service broadcasting and the Scottish Executive‟s cultural policy framework. The study outlines how ideas of cultural creativity and its economic significance have developed, charts how these ideas have affected policy debate, and explores the extent to which devolution has affected film and television policy.

IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, CULTURAL CONFLICTS, AND INTERMARRIAGE IN ANN MARIE DI MAMBRO’S TALLY’S BLOOD Ian Brown Anne Marie Di Mambro’s play Tally’s Blood was first performed in 1990 at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, directed by my namesake (then the theatre’s Artistic Director). The action of the play moves from 1936 through to 1955, and its title comes from a common twentieth-century slang term for the raspberry syrup squirted onto ice-cream cones by ice- cream salespeople in Scotland, drawing on the demeaning, and arguably racist, Scots term for an Italian person, “Tally.” The adjective is used for this ice-cream supplement because many of the progenitors of today’s Italo-Scots communities came to Scotland to work in the food industry, especially to set up, or work in, cafés, or to tour towns in vans or on specially designed delivery bicycles, selling ice-cream and related products.
