Alright Sunshine

By Isla Cowan

Alright Sunshine - a female with three different facial expressions.

“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’ **** (The Reviews Hub).

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