Alright Sunshine is a single-character monologue that examines women’s safety and law enforcement prejudices.
Former Preston Lodge High School pupil Mr Gordon is the show’s co-creative director with fellow Wonder Fools founder Jack Nurse.
The play is written by Isla Cowan and is running until August 24 at 4.20pm at the Pleasance Dome, excluding August 11 and 18, and is set in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
It is a “female-led and female-focused political play” that delves into the safety of women in both public and private spaces.
Playwright Isla said: “Alright Sunshine is about the rules and rhythms of a city and what happens when the sun comes out.
“It explores issues of gender and class, mob mentality, women’s safety and the politics of public space.
“It’s a female-led and female-focused political play, with a distinctive Edinburgh spin.”
The plot centres on PC Nicky McCreadie, who is called to a mass brawl in The Meadows on a hot day in May.
As the event and her past unfold, her necessary façade of masculine confidence starts to crumble.
Audiences are given a peek into her hidden fears and personal motivations.
The play uses humour and social commentary to tackle subjects of power, retribution, misogyny and bias within the police force.
The latest Wonder Fools play follows the success of its 2024 production Òran, crowned Best Debut at The Skinny and Fest Mag Bestie Awards.
