was released on the first September 11th attacks anniversary and attempts to explain possible reasons for Osama bin Laden's anger towards America. The performance prompted complaints from the US consulate and Dallmeyer received death threats and abusive phone calls. There were calls from Scottish Parliament member, Brian Monteith, to boycott the performance. Dallmeyer defended the play, stating "I am not trying to create a sensation; it is just that I feel the piece is strong". The play featured "strongly anti-American sentiments and condemns United States foreign policy" and despite the backlash Dallmeyer has performed it over 100 times. His stage play, Playing a Blinder, which attempted to re-create the 1940 Edinburgh Derby's New Year's Day match, in which the commentator improvised what was happening on the pitch due to severe fog, was aired in 2002 on BBC Radio 4. The cast included Andy Gray and Gavin Mitchell. The play took Dallmeyer two years to create and due to their being no recordings of the event he had to "imagine how it might have sounded". Dallmeyer wrote the musical Burns Supper, in collaboration with composer David Todd, inspired by the bard Robert Burns. They then donated the script to schools around the country and a competition was held, in conjunction with charity 'First Scottish Film Features', to find the best school performance. Some of the work was then presented at the Fringe festival. 2010s Dallmeyer wrote the play Thank God for John Muir based on the life of John Muir and specifically based on the period in Muir's life when an industrial accident left him blind. It was reviewed in 2011 as an "emotional and sensory journey", yet Alan Chadwick, from The Herald, described it as "too static" and the ending was "underwhelming". The play was scheduled to be a part of the 2015 John Muir celebrations in East Lothian.
