I WAS at the world premiere of Stephen Greenhorn’s much-loved Proclaimers musical Sunshine On Leith at the Dundee Rep theatre back in 2007. Full disclosure, dear reader, I didn’t like it much.
In fairness – as someone whose fairly eclectic musical tastes have never stretched to the oeuvre of the brothers Reid – the show wasn’t made for me. Nevertheless, as the Tayside audience gave the Rep’s ensemble a standing ovation, I was left feeling – in the words of the late, great Bill Hicks – as if I’d wandered into a Klan rally wearing a Boy George costume.
