Two Edinburgh youths, tired of having no money and living in a city full of wealthy tourists, hatch an ambitious (and somewhat illegal) plan to change their lives. Using the music of the Scottish band Big Country as a background to their dreams, what can possibly go wrong? Gail Wylie looks at what the play, and the music, tell us about the hopes and dreams of today’s Scottish young people? Chair of the BOOKMARK Book Festival, Gail Wylie began her career in education as an English teacher before joining the adult education department (now called the Centre of Lifelong Learning) at the University of Edinburgh where she became the Course Organiser for Literature and Creative Writing. Over her fourteen years there, she developed the Certificate in Theatre Studies. Gail has given pre-theatre talks for many visiting productions to Edinburgh’s Festival and King’s Theatres and helped launch the Perth Theatre Season Subscription Theatre Talks in early 2023 along with Joyce Caplan.
