The Clown and the Wolfman ride again as the classic Scottish movie starts a new adventure as a stage musical!
Restless Natives: The Musical is roaring into town, and Leith Theatre are beyond thrilled to host the Edinburgh run of this stage adaptation of the beloved 1985 Scottish cult classic!
Intrepid underdogs Ronnie and Will become Highland Highwaymen, holding up buses and winning international renown, fleecing tourists with charm and panache.
Tour guide Margot believes they can restore national pride, but the police are closing in. Will this be the end of the story – or the beginning of a legend?
Produced and directed by the same team who made the original 1985 film alongside co-producers Perth Theatre, Restless Natives: The Musical sees The Clown and the Wolfman ride again in this not-to-be missed new stage musical!

BRYONY KNOX ~25 at 25A Celebration of Story, Colour and Movement with 25 Objects from 25 years.
Interaction with the work has always been Bryony’s main aim, tempting the onlooker to pick the sculptural object, feel the metal in their hands, and discover hidden functions and movement held within~ whether a simple kinetic brooch, automated griffin sculpture or beautifully chased silver beaker.
This exhibition gives an insight into the stories and wonders of nature that have inspired Bryony over the last 25 years, with sketches and maquettes explaining her design and making process- and demonstrations of her beloved embossing technique of Chasing & Repousse.
The show is grouped in 5 eras, with 25 objects, showing how her work has evolved from steel mice and ‘ Clarissa the Can – Can Queen’ kinetic brooches to the elegant silver and glass bird sculptures she is known for today.
