A dark, comic pop-opera by Irvine Welsh and Don De Grazia. Featuring the original Chicago cast and a wide-ranging original score by Laurence Mark Wythe. Paul Brenner's songwriting class is a cross-section of the Chicago music scene, with all its incestuous dysfunction, navel-gazing narcissism, bitterness and occasional brilliance. When former student, pop star Sean O'Neil, visits this group of musicians to judge a contest, the stakes are suddenly raised to new levels when both revenge and jealousies come to the fore. Produced by Lesslie Ltd.

Irvine Welsh: Creatives about rich domination of arts
'I think now you get a lot of rich kids going into the arts who wouldn't have bothered before because they had different career paths. But all these professions are drying up now'
Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 7th August 2017Irvine Welsh on his three Fringe shows
Perhaps more than any other author you can think of, people tend to confuse Irvine Welsh with one of his characters. Mention his name, especially in the streets of Edinburgh, and most people will think of someone out caning it in a club till the small hours, or at least mouthing off drunk in a pub somewhere down in Leith.
