30 Jul – 24 Aug 2025

An Edinburgh National Partnership show, in collaboration with Pitlochry Festival Theatre

Alright Sunshine

Playwright: Isla Cowan

Supported by: Tron Theatre

Produced by:  Wonder Fools

 


‘It’s like the sun casts a spell, some hypnotic solar stuff, and suddenly ordinary people dae terrible things…’

When PC Nicky McCreadie responds to a mass brawl on Edinburgh’s Meadows, she finds herself face-to-face with a past she’d rather forget.

Alright Sunshine is a razor-sharp monologue dissecting gender, power, and who owns public space.

Critically acclaimed, hailed as ‘a memorable and hard-hitting piece of feminist theatre’ ★★★★ (Scotsman), the play ‘delivers a powerful punch’ ★★★★ (TheReviewsHub).

From award-winning Edinburgh playwright Isla Cowan, supported by Tron Theatre and produced by Wonder Fools, the blazing powerhouse behind Fringe hit Òran.

Tickets available from Pleasance
