Underwood Lane, a winter sun casts a peculiar glow, akin to a suppurating boil, adorning the dilapidated tenements that rise from the cobbled street, resembling a row of shattered teeth. The atmosphere is a blend of humor and despair, with the sun's rays illuminating the desolation and poverty that permeate the area.
Brilliantly funny and brimming with iconic songs from the early 1960s, this new musical play is a creation of the writer of the classic Scottish masterpiece, The Slab Boys Trilogy. Titled Underwood Lane, the play tells the captivating tale of a young skiffle band striving to make it in the music industry. With its blend of style, fierce love rivalry, broken hearts, dodgy dealers, religion, sex, and death, Underwood Lane has it all.
Written in memory of the author's Paisley buddy, Gerry Rafferty, who was born and raised on the titular street, Underwood Lane carries a special significance. John Byrne's Underwood Lane premiered in a co-production between Tron Theatre Company and OneRen, with support from Renfrewshire Council's Future Paisley Programme. The play made its debut at Johnstone Town Hall, Johnstone, before transferring to the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, in July 2022.
