CONFESSIONS OF A JUSTIFIED SINNER

3PM, ★★★★

Evil saturates the pages of James Hogg’s

Gothic novel The Private Memoirs And Confessions Of A Justified Sinner. Most of the book, first published in 1824, is written in the first person, and tells the tale of a young man who was brought up in a Christian sect – and who murders those he considers to have been damned by God. It’s a fierce masterpiece that burns off the page. Lorn Macdonald plays the ‘justified sinner’ in this compelling dramatisation of a work that still feels terrifyingly relevant.
