Thank you for your interest in 549: Scots of the Spanish Civil War.
We’ve put together some resources below to help you explore the production with your students/young people. Each of the videos below includes interviews with members of the creative team about their involvement in the show. They will then take you through a particular moment in the show and then set a creative task for you to complete with your group.
