THE*SUNDOWE -
The Sundowe is a musical written by Edinburgh writers and performers John, James and Gerry Kielty. Originally written as a radio show, and later as a television pilot, The Sundowe eventually became the basis for a modern musical.
The storyline centres on their street busking being interrupted by..... vampires, the local council and the return of dead souls. The Sundowe spins a spooky tale of ghostly happenings and betrayals and never takes itself too seriously. It is set to the backdrop of the cobbled streets of Edinburgh , Greyfriars graveyard and the Scottish parliament. The musical is part comedy, part pathos and with references to modern Scottish politics, Greyfriars Bobby, street busking and Scottish history.
