14 March to 4 May 2019 Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh and The Old Vic present the World Premiere of Local Hero Book by Bill Forsyth and David Greig Music and lyrics by Mark Knopfler Based on the screenplay of the original film, written and directed by Bill Forsyth "We’re gonna be rich… filthy dirty rich!" A wry comedy about a man who sets out to buy a beach, but ends up losing his heart to a village, Bill Forsyth’s magical Local Hero takes to the stage with new music and songs by the legendary Mark Knopfler. Ambitious Texan oil executive Mac MacIntyre arrives in Scotland on a mission to buy a small seaside village and replace it with a refinery. It’s the deal of a lifetime, but Mac soon finds out that putting a price on this scenic spot is more complicated than he bargained for. Before the locals get rich, they must decide what a village is worth –a Maserati? A million? A marriage? Or is feeling at home worth more than even oil money can buy? This production is generously supported by The National Lottery through Creative Scotland and presented by special arrangement with Neal Street Productions and Patrick Daly of Caledonia Productions.
