The Swansong by Eve Nicole & Finn Anderson based on David Greig's radio play, is a gorgeous, ethereal musical starring Paul McArthur and Julia Murray with live saxophone and piano.

Lydia is at her lowest ebb, about to drown herself in the duck pond. When she meets Paul McArthur as a talking swan.

What follows is a Peter Pan like journey over the rooftops of Edinburgh Lydia flying on the back of the Swan. They go for drinks in the clubs of Auld Reekie before fleeing attackers. Taking a train to London Lydia goes to sleep hoping the Swan will be there in the morning.

The joy of this wonderful little musical is at no point do we not believe the Swan is real. Played with some humour and a lot of heart.

We get it, we know we all need someone to take us under their wing and guide us through whatever is happening in our lifes.

Go and see this if you possibly can. It's going to the Trav and The Gaiety .
