_‘Underwood Lane – the Winter sun hangs like a suppurating boil glued to a giant sheet of dirty asbestos above the blackened tenements that rear up from the cobbled street like a row of broken teeth…’_
So sets the scene for a new John Byrne musical play written in the vintage style that audiences have come to love through his classic masterpieces _The Slab Boys _trilogy and TV hits _Your Cheatin’ Heart _and _Tutti Frutti._
Telling the tale of a young skiffle band trying to make it, _Underwood Lane _has it all: style, fierce love rivalry, broken hearts, dodgy dealers, religion, sex and death and is written in memory of John’s Paisley buddy, Gerry Rafferty, who was born and brought up on the titular street.
Brilliantly funny and packed with iconic songs from the early sixties played live by a cast of ten actor/musicians under the musical direction of Hilary Brooks (_Sunshine on Leith, Glasgow Girls_),_Underwood Lane, _designed by John himself alongside Becky Minto, promises to be a very special production for all lovers of Scottish theatre.
Written by John Byrne
Directed by Andy Arnold
