SUNSHINE ON LEITH to be Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s dazzling Winter production
Pitlochry Festival Theatre have announced that Sunshine on Leith, Stephen Greenhorn’s much-loved musical featuring the songs from world-renowned Scottish band The Proclaimers, will play in Pitlochry from 17 November-23 December.
Sunshine on Leith sees the return of service members Davy and Ally from war overseas, to be confronted with civilian life relationships, blind dates, and new responsibilities. As the pair embark on intertwining journeys of love, they begin to question what home really means to them as they rediscover their sense of identity.
Set to the classic songs of the much-loved The Proclaimers, including ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’, ‘Letter from America’ and of course the emotive ‘Sunshine on Leith’, this feel-good Scottish musical asks the question, would you walk 500 miles for love?
Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s Artistic Director Elizabeth Newman said: “We are thrilled to announce that we are creating a brand-new version of Sunshine on Leith to entertain audiences this Christmas. After the hugely successful sold-out production that we made with Capital Theatres last summer we couldn’t resist the chance to make a new production for audiences this Festive Season to celebrate the greatest and most loved Scottish musical by Stephen Greenhorn. Once again, Stephen will be joining me in rehearsals along with a cracking company of actors who’ll be singing their hearts out to the awesome Proclaimers classic hit songs.”
Casting will be announced in the coming months.
Tickets will go on sale on 17 May here.
