Description: Glasgow's tobacco merchants are anxious that the American war will bring their booming trade to a halt, but poor lawyer Enoch Dalmellington has more pressing anxieties closer to home: his `dreich, pious, humourless' and unmarried daughter Euphemia, and the dire predictions emanating from Grahamston's infamous political medium, Mistress Zapata. 'The Tobacco Merchant's Lawyer' premiered at Òran Mór, Glasgow, in 2008.
