In light of Scotland's vote today on whether to continue their union with the rest of Britain or to leave the United Kingdom, members of the famed D'Ysquith family from Broadway's A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER have weighed in on Scottish Independence. See what they had to say below!
STATEMENTS FROM THOSE OPPOSED:
"Scottish independence?! Rubbish! I'm calling up me old regiment! We shall defend the Empire! We stand ready to storm Dunstaffnage, Dumbarton, and Dumfries! Gentlemen, to your battlements!" - Lord Adalbert D'Ysquith, Earl of Highhurst
"We've been getting on so well since 1707, why the sudden urge for independence now?" - Lord Asquith D'Ysquith
"Black pudding and haggis. Miserable, really. Wreaks havoc on the digestion. Still, we must do everything we can to preserve the Empire!" - Major Lord Bartholomew D'Ysquith
STATEMENTS FROM THOSE IN FAVOR:
"Independence? My, the Scots are a rather hardy breed, aren't they? Well, why not! I do think a tartan kilt says a lot about a man, don't you? I daresay, there could be quite a bit going on underneath." - Henry D'Ysquith
"If those wretched, ungrateful Scots want to go their own way, it makes no difference to me. But I shall fight to my dying breath for the right to wear plaid!" - Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith
"Scotland is good for two things: Bagpipes and golf. I shouldn't think I'd miss either of them." - Asquith D'Ysquith, Jr.
"I say, let them go. So long as the flow of whisky remains unabated." - Reverend Lord Ezekial D'Ysquith
STATEMENTS FROM THOSE UNDECIDED:
"I make it a point never to get involved in politics, though I once portrayed Mary, Queen of Scots, in rep. The critics praised my bravery. And my height." - Lady Salome D'Ysquith
These members of the D'Ysquith Family are currently being portrayed on Broadway in A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE OT LOVE AND MURDER.
