In this new musical comedy by Hilary Brooks and Clive King, an idealistic young musical teacher escapes the dreich, drabness of 80’s Glasgow in search of an idyllic life on a Scottish Hebridean Island. Her expectations are quickly challenged however when she runs into the unmoving fundamentalism of the Island’s religious community.
Originally commissioned by A Play, A Pie and a Pint, this new musical has subsequently been developed into a full length piece with the support of Creative Scotland, and now has the title ‘That Sunday Feeling’. It was given a very successful workshop tryout at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow in front of industry professionals and is currently in search of a producer.
