Description

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

On a hot day in May, Edinburgh’s usual social rhythms are disrupted and a frenzied “mass brawl” soon breaks out on The Meadows. But when police officer Nicky McCreadie is called to the scene, it’s not just the drunken rioters she has to worry about. Amidst the chaos, Nicky finds herself face to face with a past she’d rather forget. In the aftermath of violence and accusation, Nicky must confront her own secrets and insecurities, as her well-worn mask of masculine bravado starts to slip.

Alright Sunshine is a punchy, provocative monologue play, exploring gender, power, and the politics of public space. Written by award-winning playwright Isla Cowan.

This edition of Alright Sunshine was published to coincide with the production at Tron Theatre in April-May 2025
