The Stormer

By Gurmeet Mattu

Struggling artist, Hugh, thinks he’s made it when he’s commissioned to paint a mural on the gable end wall of a tenement building in his beloved Glasgow .
He paints a nude of his first love, Davina.  But she’s married to senior policeman, Crawford, now and he’s not happy about this portrayal of his wife.  He sets police unit The Mad Skwad the task of sorting Hugh out, and has him barred from all the city’s businesses.
Enter a whimsical world where romantic ideals meet sheer idiocy, populated by a biker called Midden, a tramp called The Shame, a gang leader called Slab and a gorgeous, naked, redhead called The Stormer.
The Sunday Times called the stage version “…an off-beat romantic comedy, full of incident, colour and suspense".
Glaswegian Gurmeet Mattu is a scriptwriter and winner of the Scottish Screen First Draft Award.  The Stormer is his first novel.
