Tally’s Blood is a Scottish play by Ann Marie Di Mambro that explores the experiences of Italian immigrants in Scotland during the 20th century:

Setting: The play is set in Scotland and Italy from 1936 to 1955, and includes events before, during, and after World War II.

Story: The play focuses on the Pedreschi family, who run a café and ginger store in Glasgow. The story follows the family as they leave Italy for Scotland with Rosinella’s niece, Lucia, after Rosinella’s sister dies. The play explores themes of prejudice, love, family loyalty, and the horrors of war.

Title: The title refers to both Italian blood and the raspberry sauce used on ice cream, as “Tally” is slang for Italian. y
