Yellow Moon in Edinburgh


“This is the part of the story where Leila and Lee go on the run to the highlands and nearly die.”

Yellow Moon: The Ballad of Leila and Lee is a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde tale that follows the fortunes of two teenagers on the run. Silent Leila is an introverted girl with a passion for celebrity magazines. Stag Lee Macalinden is the deadest of dead-end kids in a dead-end town. They never meant to get mixed up in a murder... but shit happens and now they need a place to hide.

Told through a combination of narration, verse, and naturalistic dialogue, David Grieg’s light touch script leaps from teenage romance to redemption myth; from wry comedy to classic tragedy. Featuring live, original music from student musicians, our production has a stripped back aesthetic, embracing the language in the script. 

Funny, sad and a little bit different, this production from one of the UK’s leading contemporary playwrights is perfect for both teenage and adult audiences. From the winners of a ThreeWeeks Editors’ Award (2010). 

If you missed 'Yellow Moon' at the Alma Tavern in Bristol then don't miss out on seeing it in the Fringe Festival this August! Watch this space for information, photos, videos and reviews!
