An American oil executive gets far more than he bargained for in this brand new musical adaptation of Bill Forsyth's 1983 film, heading to the Old Vic for summer 2020.
On arrival in a small fishing village in Scotland, aforementioned oil exec Mac MacIntyre is tasked with convincing the locals to sell up in favour of his boss's plan to replace the beautiful spot with a whacking great oil refinery. Whilst some jump at the chance to get rich quick, others are not so keen.
