Scottish Immigration to America emerged as Scots escaped poverty and persecution from the towns of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayr and Inverness. Many emigrated from Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Argyll and East Lothian.

Steven Berkoff’s Master Of Cafe Society gives us a resting actor’s stream of consciousness as he ritually breakfasts in a cafe – to identify with the workers – and shares his Oedipal fantasies and humiliating sense of frustration in a world where work, and television exposure, confers reality. Meanwhile, George Dillon is busily ‘ Stunning the Punters‘ at Marco’s with a triple-bill of solo shows by punk populist Steven Berkoff (‘ Master of Cafe Society‘), Robert Sproat (‘ Stunning the Punters‘) and Dostoevsky (‘ Dream of a Ridiculous Man‘). While the first two primarily provide two showcase performances of virtuoso acting – all coy looks and fiercely measured aggression – the last sees Dillon clambering inside a monologue that explores a poetic nightmare born of Milton’s ‘ Paradise Lost‘ . It’s a hypnotic spectacle; a ‘ Brazil‘-like allegory that switches dramatically from a grey, spiritless, urban world to savage sensuality as the ambiguous dream-narrator is transported to a Paradise (read Earth) which he subsequently contaminates, Lucifer-like, with the so-called wisdom of a fallen world. Pretentious? yes, but beautifully executed. James Christopher, TIME OUT, 29 August 1990Rhodes seems to have been under the impression that he would come into an inheritance at the age of 21. One theory is that he was demanding more than Daisy could give him and was becoming a burden to her. The most obvious answer is that she simply didn't like him and that he was a disappointment to her. She had pampered him all his life, but he rarely showed her any consideration in return. Here lys the corps of Alexander Broun, who died in the 75th year of his age, the 21 day of June 1725. On 21 January 1931, Daisy Sproat married for the third time. Her husband was a widower, Sydney Clarence De Melker, who like her previous two husbands, was a plumber.

It is also noted that further research has been done,. that Daisy was possibly set up by those that gave evidence in court against her, as they had financial gains.She may have been a "scape-goat" or may not have 'worked alone" She did however, make their coffee in the flasks when the two of them went fishing. On 21 January 1931, Daisy married for the third time. Her husband was a widower, Sydney Clarence de Melker; like her two previous husbands, he was a plumber. [ citation needed] Tomlins, Marilyn Z.

His first piece is a new work from Steven Berkoff, Master of Cafe Society and Dillon is a natural heir to Berkoff’s stylised upfront acting techniques. the play centres round an out of work actor’s lonely breakfast vigil among the hurly burly of the city’s early morning workers.
