The 'love story' between Adam Smith and David Hume, two towering figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, will be told at the world premiere of a play at the Edinburgh Fringe in August.

The play, exploring the deep and profound relationship between the two men, will be performed at Panmure House in Edinburgh, where Adam Smith lived for the last 12 years of his life. He died there in 1790.

American writer Duane Kelly discusses the relationship and his play, Enquiry Concerning Hereafter, in the latest episode of The Panmure Podcasts, Adam Smith and David Hume: An 18th Century Bromance.
